Motivational interviewing for alcohol use reduction in Thai patients.
Article in Open medicine (Warsaw, Poland), 2025. 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
Background and aim: Alcohol consumption is a major public health issue, linked to a wide range of physical, psychological, familial, and social harms, as well as increased rates of violence, accidents, and mortality. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a motivational interviewing program in reducing alcohol consumption patterns among Thai patients. Methods: This quasi-experimental study included a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG), each consisting of 30 patients. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS, utilizing both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Results: The majority of patients in the CG were aged 45-60 years, whereas the majority in the EG were aged 25-44 years. The intervention involved 4 sessions over 8 weeks motivational interviewing program (MIP). The mean AUDIT scores in the CG were 24.10 before the intervention and 22.90 after, while in the EG, scores decreased from 22.63 to 19.33. The interaction between the factors (CG and EG) before the intervention did not have a significant effect (Multivariate Analysis of Variance, MANOVA: Conclusion: MIP had a significant effect on reducing alcohol consumption among patients of the EG.
