Risk of violence-related injury from alcohol consumption and its burden to society in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Article in Revista panamericana de salud publica = Pan 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 7 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
objectivesThe risk for violence-related injury from drinking and attributable burden in the Latin American and Caribbean region was explored.
methodsA probability sample of 1024 emergency department patients reporting a violence-related injury was analyzed from 11 countries, using case-crossover fractional polynomial analysis of the number of drinks consumed prior to the event.
resultsA dose-response relationship was observed with a six-fold increase in risk (RR=5.6) for less than two drinks prior to injury. Risk was higher for females than males at 10 or more drinks, and higher for those aged 30 and older compared to those younger at all volume levels. Overall, 32.7% of the violence-related injuries were attributable to alcohol. Alcohol attributable fraction (AAF) was nearly three times larger for males (38%) than for females (12.3%).
conclusionsA dose-response relationship was found between the volume of alcohol consumed prior to the event and risk of violence-related injury. Risk was not uniform across gender or age. At higher volumes, females compared to males were at greater risk of injury but had a lower AAF due to their lower prevalence of drinking at higher levels.
