  • The Klimas 2018 review examined several psychosocial interventions for alcohol use, including motivational interviewing, and found no difference between interventions.

    “The Klimas 2018 review examined several psychosocial interventions for alcohol use, including motivational interviewing, and found no difference between interventions.”

    From Motivational interviewing for substance use reduction (2023) · cites this paper as Klimas 2018

    The Discussion (Summary of main results) says the review assessed eight psychosocial interventions, including motivational interviewing, and found no significant alcohol-use differences in most comparisons. But it reports an exception: brief motivational interviewing was associated with a greater reduction in drinking days than assessment-only. The Key results also note a possible benefit of intensive over standard motivational interviewing among women, so the unqualified claim of no difference between interventions overstates the findings. (LLM, conf=0.89)

  • Klimas 2018 included only two studies, which used different scales to assess alcohol use.

    “However, Klimas 2018 included only two studies, which used different scales to assess alcohol use.”

    From Motivational interviewing for substance use reduction (2023) · cites this paper as Klimas 2018

    The Included studies section says the 2018 review included seven studies, not two. The Selective reporting section says the included studies used different questionnaires to measure their outcomes, supporting the point about differing measures. Page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.92)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
