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

aimTo determine the association of sociodemographic characteristics and type of alcoholic beverage consumed during binge drinking in Serbia.

methodWe conducted a secondary analysis of data from the 2014 national survey on Serbian lifestyles focusing on substance abuse and gambling. The sample consisted of 5385 individuals. The respondents were divided into non-binge drinkers and binge drinkers, according to the quantity of alcohol consumed during one occasion. Binge drinkers reported consuming more than 60 g of pure alcohol (7.5 units of alcohol) during one occasion at least once during the previous year.

resultsThe prevalence of binge drinking in the past year among 2676 female and 2709 male participants aged 18-64 years was 28.4%. The multivariate logistic regression model showed that binge drinkers were more likely to be male (95% CI 3.58-4.94), single (95% CI 1.01-1.53), to be former (95% CI 1.06-1.62) or current smokers (95% CI 1.57-2.19), and to consume more than one type of alcoholic beverage (95% CI 2.04-3.44). There was a negative association of binge drinking with age (95% CI 0.98-0.99), living outside Northern Serbia-Vojvodina region, and drinking only spirits (95% CI 0.39-0.93).

conclusionFocusing on the positive association of sociodemographic factors and binge drinking could help policy makers create public health interventions against alcohol misuse. These interventions should be directed to males, smokers, and those who consume more than one type of alcoholic beverage.
