Effects of Alcohol Interventions on Other Drug Use in the Cherokee Nation.
Article in American journal of public health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 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
objectivesTo evaluate effects of 2 alcohol prevention interventions-Communities Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol (CMCA), a community organizing intervention designed to reduce youth alcohol access, and CONNECT, an individual-level screening and brief intervention approach-on other drug use outcomes.
methodsWe conducted a community intervention trial with quarterly surveys over 3 years (2012-2015) of high school students living within the jurisdictional service area of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma. We used generalized estimating equations and linear probability models to examine intervention spillover effects on other drug use.
resultsWe found significant reductions in drug use other than alcohol attributable to CMCA and CONNECT. CMCA was associated with a 35% reduction in chewing tobacco use, a 39% reduction in marijuana use, and a 48% reduction in prescription drug misuse. CONNECT was associated with a 26% reduction in marijuana use and a 31% reduction in prescription drug misuse.
conclusionsNonalcohol drug use was consistently reduced as a result of 2 theoretically and operationally distinct alcohol prevention strategies. Evaluations of alcohol prevention efforts should continue to include other drug use to understand the broader effects of such interventions.
