A pilot study of a neuroscience-based, harm minimisation programme in schools and youth centres in Australia.
Article in BMJ open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectivesThe primary aim is to evaluate the feasibility of a newly developed, neuroscience-based, alcohol and other drug (AOD) use prevention programme, '
designA pilot study examining the feasibility of
participantsStudents aged 15-19 years from two secondary schools and a youth centre and 11 teachers and health professionals from various organisations in Sydney were recruited.
interventionThe intervention consisted of three 90 min workshops delivered by trained facilitators within a month. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MEASURES: Students completed a drug literacy questionnaire before and after intervention. All participants (students, teachers and health professionals) completed an evaluation questionnaire postprogramme delivery. A paired-sample t-test and descriptive analytics were performed.
resultsStudents (n=169) demonstrated a significant increase in drug literacy levels from preintervention to postintervention (t(169) = -13.22, p<0.0001). Of students evaluating the programme (n=252), over threequarters agreed that
