(Null edit) One of the big holes in the Project MATCH study, which the Cochrane review uses extensively, is that they didn’t compare treatments to no treatment. So, while the Cochrane 2020 review of AA didn’t have high certainty evidence comparing AA to no treatment. That said, Brandsma 1980 did conclude AA (even their not-quite-AA meeting with no oldtimers and essentially no one getting a sponsor) was better than no treatment.

Effectiveness summary: The version Mark Worthen proposed had the word "clinical" in it, which I removed when we were hammering out consensus, but, on second thought, having "clinical" is more accurate.
