Pragmatic randomized controlled trial of providing access to a brief personalized alcohol feedback intervention in university students.
Trial report in Addiction science & clinical practice, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01521078 (Randomized Controlled Trial of a Brief Personalized Feedback Intervention in University Students), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 4 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.

Abstract
backgroundThere is a growing body of evidence indicating that web-based personalized feedback interventions can reduce the amount of alcohol consumed in problem drinking college students. This study sought to evaluate whether providing voluntary access to such an intervention would have an impact on drinking.
methodsCollege students responded to an email inviting them to participate in a short drinking survey. Those meeting criteria for risky drinking (and agreeing to participate in a follow-up) were randomized to an intervention condition where they were offered to participate in a web-based personalized feedback intervention or to a control condition (intervention not offered). Participants were followed-up at six weeks.
resultsA total of 425 participants were randomized to condition and 68% (n = 290) completed the six-week follow-up. No significant difference in drinking between conditions was observed.
conclusionsWeb-based personalized feedback interventions that are offered to students on a voluntary basis may not have a measurable impact on problem drinking.
