1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This study attempted to disentangle the effects of peer selection and socialization on heavy drinking and marijuana use among adolescents whose parents received 2 distinct brief interventions (BIs). It also examined whether the two BI models-Family Check-Up and Psychoeducation-had differential effects on peer processes. Parents were randomized to BI conditions and their adolescents (61% male, age 12-19 years) completed self-report measures of days of heavy drinking, days of marijuana use, and perceived peer substance involvement at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Separate cross-lagged panel models revealed evidence of selection and socialization for both heavy drinking and marijuana over the first 6 months and evidence of only selection over the subsequent 6 months. Consistent with prior studies, a less robust pattern of peer processes was found when simultaneously controlling for both heavy drinking and marijuana. Results highlight the need to examine multiple substances simultaneously and suggest that the BIs may have had protective effects on peer influences over time.
