Consistency of self-reported drug use among electronic dance music party attendees.
Article in Drug and alcohol review, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
INTRODUCTION AND
aimsLongitudinal studies have found that recanting of drug use is common. We investigate the extent to which individuals in a high-risk population-electronic dance music (EDM) party attendees-provide inconsistent reports of drug use. DESIGN AND
methodsNine hundred and thirty-three EDM party attendees were intercept-surveyed before entering randomly selected parties in 2017. A quarter (n = 236) completed the optional follow-up survey (63.1% of those providing an email address to be contacted for follow up). We compared self-reported past-year drug use on baseline and follow-up surveys (mean = 3.6 days post-baseline) among those who completed both. Predictors for providing discordant responses were also examined.
resultsAbout 42.4% provided a discordant response between surveys, but discord regarding reported use of individual drugs (measured in changes in absolute percentage) ranged from 0.0% to 5.1%. At follow up, prevalence of reported use of LSD decreased (by 3.8%, P = 0.013) and prevalence of reported use of shrooms also decreased (by 5.1%, P = 0.005); however, test-retest reliability was strong or almost perfect for all 17 drugs (κ range: 0.88-1.00). Those reporting the use of a higher number of drugs at baseline were at increased risk of providing discordant responses. Those surveyed outside of festivals were less likely to provide more discordant responses than those surveyed outside of nightclubs. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsAlthough reporting of drug use was very reliable in this high-risk population, inconsistent self-reported use of some drugs was still common. Research is needed to determine how to acquire more accurate responses in this population at the point of recruitment without relying on follow-up surveys.
