Brief alcohol intervention in the emergency department: moderators of effectiveness.
Trial report in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 49 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectivePrior research supports the effectiveness of brief interventions for reducing alcohol misuse among patients in the emergency department (ED). However, limited information is available regarding the mechanisms of change, which could assist clinicians in streamlining or amplifying these interventions. This article examines moderators of outcomes among ED patients, ages 19 and older, who participated in a randomized controlled trial of a brief intervention for alcohol misuse.
methodInjured patients (N= 4,476) completed a computerized survey; 575 at-risk drinkers were randomly assigned to one of four brief intervention conditions, and 85% were interviewed again at 3-month and 12-month follow-ups.
resultsRegression models using the generalized estimating equations approach examined interaction effects between intervention condition (advice/no advice) and hypothesized moderator variables (stage of change, self-efficacy, acute alcohol use, attribution of injury to alcohol) on alcohol outcomes over time. Overall, participants who reported higher levels of self-efficacy had lower weekly consumption and consequences, whereas those with higher readiness to change had greater weekly consumption and consequences. Furthermore, individuals who attributed their injury to alcohol and received advice had significantly lower levels of average weekly alcohol consumption and less frequent heavy drinking from baseline to 12-month follow-up compared with those who attributed their injury to alcohol but did not receive advice.
conclusionsThis study provides novel data regarding attribution for alcohol-related injury as an important moderator of change and suggests that highlighting the alcohol/injury connection in brief, ED-based alcohol interventions can augment their effectiveness.
