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
backgroundHigh-risk alcohol use in persons 18 to 30 years of age is a critical public health problem. It is the number 1 cause of death in this population. This article reports the results of a subanalysis of young adults (aged 18 to 30 years) who participated in Project TrEAT (Trial of Early Alcohol Treatment) conducted in the offices of 64 primary care physicians located in 10 counties in southern Wisconsin.
methodsProject TrEAT was a randomized clinical trial designed to test the efficacy of a brief intervention protocol to reduce alcohol use, improve health status, and decrease health care utilization. A total of 226 young adults were randomly assigned to either a usual care or brief intervention group.
resultsThere were no significant differences between the 2 groups at baseline on a number of potential confounders. During the 4-year follow-up period, there were significant reductions in number of persons drinking more than 3 drinks per day, average 7-day alcohol use, number of persons drinking 6 or more drinks per occasion, and number of binge drinking episodes in the previous 30 days (P < .01 to P < .001). There were also significant differences (P < .05) in emergency department visits (103 vs 177), motor vehicle crashes (9 vs 20), total motor vehicle events (114 vs 149), and arrests for controlled substance or liquor violation (0 vs 8).
conclusionIn this 4-year subanalysis of young adults who participated in Project TrEAT, we found long-term reductions in high-risk drinking behaviors and consequences. The findings of this study support more widespread implementation of brief interventions in primary care settings.
