Digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Reduces Heavy Drinking Among a Non-Treatment Sample of People With Alcohol Use Disorder: A Feasibility Trial With CBT4CBT.
Trial report in Alcohol, clinical & experimental research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMost people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) do not receive treatment. Few digital evidence-based treatments have been tested among community-based samples of people with AUD. The present trial of Computer-Based Training for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT4CBT) (1) assessed CBT4CBT usability and acceptability and (2) explored alcohol-related outcomes by study condition in a non-treatment sample of people with AUD.
methodsFor the current two-arm clinical trial, a non-treatment sample of people with lifetime AUD and current heavy drinking was recruited using ResearchMatch.org and randomized (3:1) to the CBT4CBT program or an assessment-only control, stratified by sex (N = 160 total; CBT: n = 109; Co: n = 51). Study assessments included post-intervention acceptability ratings and self-reported alcohol-related measures administered at baseline, post-intervention, and 1-month follow-up.
resultsParticipants were 68.1% female and 31.9% male, in their early forties (M = 42.6, SD = 15.7, range 19-76 years). Most participants identified as white (65.0%) or Black (27.5%) and non-Latinx (89.4%). Acceptability ratings and usability measures for CBT4CBT were favorable and comparable to studies among clinical treatment samples. Participants in the CBT4CBT group demonstrated faster reductions in the percentage of drinking days and were significantly less likely to report any heavy drinking days than those in the control condition at 1-month follow-up. The CBT4CBT group reported higher recovery scores than the control group.
conclusionsThe present study provides benchmark data on the use of CBT4CBT in a sample of people with AUD not receiving treatment. Findings have important clinical and research implications for expanding the reach of evidence-based addiction treatment beyond traditional treatment settings.
