Changes in Alcohol Consumption and Associated Variables among Older Adults in Spain: A population-based cohort study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
We examined prospective changes in drinking patterns and their associations with socio-behavioral and health status variables in older adults in Spain using data from a prospective cohort of 2,505 individuals (53.3% women) representative of the non-institutionalized population aged >60 years in Spain. Alcohol consumption was assessed at baseline (2008-10) and at follow-up (2012) with a validated diet history. At risk drinking was defined as consuming >14 g of alcohol/day on average or any binge drinking in the last 30 days; lower amounts were considered light drinking. A total of 26.5% of study participants changed their intake during follow-up. Most participants reduced alcohol intake, but 23.3% of men and 8.9% of women went from light to at risk drinking during the study period. Low social connectivity at baseline was linked to at risk drinking for both sexes. However, the observed associations between changes in social connectivity, morbidity, BMI, or dietary habits and changes in drinking patterns differed by sex. We concluded that since about a quarter of older adults in Spain consume more alcohol than recommended, identifying socio-behavioral factors associated with this behavior is key for designing health campaigns targeting excessive alcohol consumption in this vulnerable population.
