Ten-Year Trend in Women's Reasons for Abstaining or Limiting Drinking: The 2000 and 2010 United States National Alcohol Surveys.
Article in Journal of women's health (2002), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundData on individual and cultural factors contributing to drinking can inform screening and brief intervention in clinical practice. Our aims were to examine 10-year trends in women's reasons for abstaining/limiting drinking and to document changes in associations with drinking status for population subgroups defined by race/ethnicity and age. MATERIALS AND
methodsUsing repeated cross-sectional data from White, Black and Hispanic women in the 2000 and 2010 United States National Alcohol Surveys (combined N = 5501), population-weighted multiple linear and multinomial logistic regression models assessed changes in three reasons for abstaining or limiting drinking (health concerns, religious prohibition, and upsetting family or friends) and drinking status (past-year abstainer, low-risk drinker, or at-risk drinker), and their associations over time.
resultsAdjusting for key demographics, reasons for limiting alcohol consumption declined in importance over time, with reductions in both health concerns and religious prohibition particularly noteworthy for older women of all three racial/ethnic backgrounds. Despite these reductions in importance, both health concerns and religious prohibition were most consistently associated with increased abstinence relative to low-risk drinking; these reasons were not strongly associated with at-risk drinking, however.
conclusionsIt is essential for healthcare providers and others to disseminate accurate information about the risks of drinking to counter cultural shifts that suggest greater acceptance of moderate-to-heavy drinking by women aged 40 and older.
