Practitioner-level predictors of alcohol problems detection and management activities.
Article in Journal of substance use, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The alcohol health services literature suggests that a potential problem with promoting secondary prevention is an existing educational focus on alcohol dependency.
aimsThis study explores practitioner-level predictors of health professionals' self-reported detection and management activities in an effort to inform this question.
participantsThe participants consisted of a random sample of licensed physicians and nurse practitioners in a northern California county. MEASUREMENT: Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire on beliefs and practices regarding patients with alcohol problems and at-risk drinkers.
findingsThe results indicate that prior alcohol education predicted clinical practices to address known or suspected drinking problems, but not those at-risk or without observable symptoms. In addition, stigmatizing beliefs about problem drinkers discouraged use of blood tests even when awareness of a drinking problem existed.
conclusionsThe conclusions are that existing models of alcohol education appear to convey a tertiary focus, and do not cover secondary prevention sufficiently to challenge the deficits and beliefs that discourage early detection and intervention.
