The effect of SMS behavior change techniques on event-level desire to get drunk in young adults.

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
Text messaging (SMS) interventions incorporating a combination of behavior change techniques can assist reductions in alcohol consumption among young adult hazardous drinkers, but mechanisms of action remain unknown. In this secondary analysis, we test the hypothesis that desire to get drunk (DD) recorded prior to drinking episodes would mediate SMS intervention effects on the likelihood of event-level heavy drinking (4 +/5 + drinks for women/men). We recruited young adult hazardous drinkers to a trial where they were randomized to 1 of 5 SMS interventions: TRACK (self-monitoring of alcohol use), PLAN (feedback on drinking plans and DD), USE (postdrinking feedback on alcohol consumed), GOAL (goal prompts/support), and COMBO (i.e., 4 interventions combined). Up to 3 days per week for 14 weeks, when participants reported a plan to drink, they were asked to report DD on a scale from 0 (
