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

backgroundAlcohol protective behavioral strategies (PBS) have been proposed as mechanisms of change underlying interventions for reducing alcohol use and alcohol-related problems. Few studies have examined PBS use among non-college student populations and no study has examined PBS use among adult injured patients. The current study tested types of PBS as mediators of the effects of a brief motivational intervention (BMI) delivered in the trauma care setting on alcohol-related problems.

methodSecondary data analyses were conducted using data from a multisite randomized controlled trial of brief intervention in the trauma care setting. The current study used data from a subset of participants who reported having consumed alcohol at least once at 3-month follow-up (N = 324). Following a baseline assessment, participants were assigned to either brief advice (BA; n = 107), BMI (n = 119), or BMI with a telephone booster (BMI + B; n = 98). Participants completed measures of PBS at 3-month follow-up and of alcohol-related problems at baseline and 6-month follow-up. A multiple mediation model was conducted to simultaneously test the mediation effects of types of PBS.

resultsBMI and BMI + B relative to BA did not increase PBS use. However, more frequent use of certain types of PBS at 3-month follow-up were predictors of greater reductions in alcohol-related problems from baseline to 6-month follow-up. There were no statistically significant mediation effects.

conclusionsThe present study suggests that PBS use reduces alcohol-related problems among trauma patients and implications for future studies are discussed.
