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: Digital formats are an important tool for making evidence-based therapies for alcohol use, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), more broadly available, yet only a small percentage are available in Spanish and none with evidence from effectiveness studies with Spanish-speaking individuals. This study evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of adding a culturally-adapted, web-based CBT program for Spanish-speakers, known as Methods: We conducted a 2-arm, unblinded, parallel-group randomized clinical trial among 51 primary Spanish-speaking adults seeking outpatient treatment for alcohol use. Participants were randomly assigned to either standard treatment (ST), or ST plus access to the CBT4CBT-SA program. Frequency of alcohol use was measured during an 8-week treatment period, and at monthly intervals at 1-, 3-, and 6-month follow-up. The primary outcome was the percentage of days abstinent (PDA) from alcohol by week during the 8-week period. Other outcomes included change in consequences from alcohol, coping strategies, and knowledge of CBT concepts. Results: Rates of treatment completion (63%) and data availability (84% of randomized sample at 6-month follow-up) were high. Results of random effects regression analyses did not indicate a significant change in PDA in the full sample. Among the subsample of treatment completers, those assigned to ST + CBT4CBT-SA had a greater increase in PDA compared to ST during the 8-week treatment (treatment by week, Conclusion: This culturally adapted, web-based version of CBT targeting alcohol use for Spanish speakers appeared acceptable with preliminary efficacy at improving alcohol use outcomes when added to standard outpatient treatment. Future studies are warranted to evaluate efficacy in a larger sample and with differing levels of clinical support.
