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

objectivesAdolescents involved in bullying are at increased risk for alcohol use; however, much of this research has been cross-sectional. The aim of this work was to therefore examine the longitudinal associations between bullying and future alcohol use.

methodsData were drawn from the COMPASS study. The current study used a 2-year linked sample of grade 9 and 10 students from 2015 to 2017 (n = 6005). Students were asked to report their involvement with bullying as well as alcohol use and binge drinking behaviours. Generalized estimating equations regression analyses were used to examine the relationship between bullying involvement at baseline and alcohol use and binge drinking at follow-up.

resultsOverall, 20% of students in grades 9 and 10 reported involvement in bullying. There was evidence of a modest longitudinal association between bullying and binge drinking. Being a bully or bully-victim at baseline was associated with increased odds of initiating future binge drinking.

conclusionsBeing a bully or bully-victim in grade 9 or 10 was associated with initiating binge drinking within the following 2 years. Targeted alcohol use prevention programming may benefit these groups.
