Alcohol Use and Disordered Eating in a US Sample of Heterosexual and Sexual Minority Adolescents.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveTo expand knowledge of co-occurring alcohol use and disordered eating behaviors (DEB) among sexual minority (ie, nonheterosexual) youth.
methodUsing pooled 2009 to 2015 US Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (322,687 students; 7.3% lesbian, gay, bisexual), multivariable logistic regression models examined the following: (1) associations of age of onset of drinking and past month binge drinking with past year DEB (fasting, diet pill use, purging, steroid use); and (2) effect modification by sexual orientation.
resultsAlcohol use and sexual minority identity were independently associated with elevated odds for diet pill use and purging among female adolescents, and with fasting and steroid use among male adolescents. Odds of fasting increased with greater frequency of monthly binge drinking among heterosexual adolescent female youth, and odds of diet pill use increased with greater frequency of monthly binge drinking among heterosexual adolescent male youth. DEB prevalence was particularly pronounced among adolescents who binge drank and who were not sure of their sexual orientation identity. Among male adolescents not sure of their sexual orientation identity, those who binge drank more than 1 day in the past month had 8.63 to 23.62 times the odds of using diet pills relative to those who did not binge drink, and 13.37 to 26.42 times the odds of purging relative to those who did not binge drink.
conclusionMore research is needed on psychosocial factors underlying alcohol use and DEB in youth of all sexual orientations.
