1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

We examine the impact of an adapted community popular opinion leader (C-POL) intervention targeting alcohol-using social networks in Southeast Louisiana. A pre-post C-POL was conducted between October 2009 and April 2013, targeting alcohol users. A total of 65 popular opinion leaders were recruited, trained, and deployed into their social networks to diffuse intervention messages. Anonymous community surveys conducted within the venues among 99 male and female participants at baseline and 197 at 6 months to 1 year later revealed significant behavioral and knowledge changes. Average sexual risk score based on 7 sexual risk items declined from 15.3 to 11.9 (p<0.001); the number of vaginal and anal sex partners in the last year decreased from 11.3 to 7.7 and 3.9 to 2.3, respectively (p<0.01); and HIV knowledge score (based on % correct) increased from 67.2 to 76.8% (p<0.001). Findings add to the evidence base surrounding peer interventions.
