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
objectiveInformation on prevalence and management of alcohol misuse among Afghanistan and Iraq veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) is limited. This study compared rates of alcohol misuse and follow-up care-brief intervention (BI) and addiction treatment-among Afghanistan and Iraq veterans with and without TBI receiving care from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
methodsThe sample included veterans ages 18 and older screened with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test alcohol consumption questions (AUDIT-C) in 2012 who received VA health care in the prior year (N=358,417). Overall and age-specific estimates of alcohol misuse (AUDIT-C score ≥5) were compared for men and women with and without TBI by logistic regression. BI and addiction treatment after screening were compared between groups by using multivariable logistic regression.
resultsAlcohol misuse was higher among men with TBI than among men without TBI (20.3%, 95% confidence interval [CI]=19.9-20.8, versus 16.4%, CI=16.3-16.6) and among women with TBI than among women without TBI (6.8%, CI=5.8-8.1, versus 5.6%, CI=5.4-5.8); younger (age <30) patients with TBI had the highest rates. BI rates did not differ by TBI status (76.4%-80.2%). Addiction treatment rates for those with severe misuse were higher among those with TBI (men, 20.0%, CI=18.4-21.6, versus 15.4%, CI=14.9-15.9; women, 36.6%, CI=21.8-51.3, versus 21.1%, CI=18.2-24.0).
conclusionsAlcohol misuse is common among Iraq and Afghanistan veterans with TBI, particularly young men. BI rates were high and did not vary by TBI status, although addiction treatment rates were higher among patients with TBI than among those without TBI.
