Meeting the Global NCD Target of at Least 10% Relative Reduction in the Harmful Use of Alcohol: Is the WHO European Region on Track?
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020. 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
backgroundThe Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases set the target of an "at least 10% relative reduction in the harmful use of alcohol, as appropriate, within the national context". This study investigated progress in the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region towards this target based on two indicators: (a) alcohol per capita consumption (APC) and (b) the age-standardized prevalence of heavy episodic drinking (HED).
methodsAlcohol exposure data for the years 2010-2017 were based on country-validated data and statistical models.
resultsBetween 2010 and 2017, the reduction target for APC has been met with a decline by -12.4% (95% confidence interval (CI) -17.2, -7.0%) in the region. This progress differed greatly across the region with no decline for the EU-28 grouping (-2.4%; 95% CI -12.0, 7.8%) but large declines for the Eastern WHO EUR grouping (-26.2%; 95% CI -42.2, -8.1%). Little to no progress was made concerning HED, with an overall change of -1.7% (-13.7% to 10.2%) in the WHO European Region.
conclusionsThe findings indicate a divergence in alcohol consumption reduction in Europe, with substantial progress in the Eastern part of the region and very modest or no progress in EU countries.
