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
Forensic addiction treatment (FAT) aims to reduce the risk of offences originating in substance use. Hence, reoffending is a key outcome criterion besides therapy completion and substance use. Previous research on success prognoses resulted in heterogeneous sets of predictors. This is the first study to exploratorily investigate three types of predictors and to compare their predictive values on three outcome criteria by using a coherent, multi-centric database. Data from 4,201 patients released from German FAT were used, testing 182 variables. Stepwise logistic regression analyses were computed. Resulting predictor sets were widely heterogeneous. While regular release could satisfactorily be predicted by historical variables only, variance explanation was much lower for substance use and re-delinquency. Including treatment-related and post-treatment variables raised variance explanation up to
