1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

These evaluation studies explored the impact of the 'Recovery Together' program on participants' mental health and alcohol and other drug recovery and experiences with related services. They also aimed to inform the development of a Recovery College in the Northern Territory (NT). These studies used participatory action research and qualitative methods. Ethics approvals were obtained. Eighteen participants participated in semi-structured interviews across Darwin, Alice Springs and Katherine. Data were analysed using inductive and deductive approaches. Many participants expressed dissatisfaction with these local services, referring to inadequate support, disempowering approaches, and complicated referral pathways. However, they valued the 'Recovery Together' program for building foundational recovery skills - stress, illness and relapse management, coping strategies, communication and advocacy. Participants also reported increased empowerment, hope, and peer connection. These findings underpin the need in the NT for a Recovery College that builds on peer education and recovery-oriented approaches to improve recovery outcomes.
