Family-centered alcohol use prevention for African American adolescents: A randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveThe efficacy of the Strong African American Families (SAAF) alcohol use prevention program was tested. SAAF is a 7-session family skills training program offered in community settings. To overcome limitations of a past trial that used intent-to-treat (ITT) analyses, a Complier Average Causal Effect (CACE) analysis was used to estimate intervention effects and to determine the precise dosage of the intervention needed to achieve alcohol deterrence.
methodA sample of 472 African American youth and their caregivers were recruited randomly from public schools in 7 rural Georgia counties. Families were assigned randomly to receive SAAF or a no-treatment control. Youth provided data on their alcohol use during the past 3 months at 4 home visits, the final occurring 34 months after baseline and 28 months after the intervention.
resultsEfficacy was tested with Poisson latent growth curve models. SAAF deterred growth in alcohol use in models using both ITT and CACE estimation. CACE analyses revealed that, among participants who received a full dose of the intervention (7 sessions), a large treatment effect on slowed growth in alcohol use emerged (β = -.83, p < .001). Dose-response analyses in CACE models revealed a medium-sized effect (d [95% CI] = 1.51 [1.25, 1.75]) when participants attended at least 5 of the 7 sessions offered.
conclusionsReplication of SAAF in a second randomized prevention trial supports the robustness of program effects. It is critical, however, that participant engagement protocols be designed to encourage participation in as at least 5 of the 7 sessions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
