[Driving with a positive test result for alcohol in Spain in 2018.]
Article in Revista espanola de salud publica, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThe association between alcohol and traffic collision injuries is well established. Our objective was to analyze the frequency of driving with a positive result in on-road tests for alcohol with considering different concentrations of alcohol in exhaled air, as well as driving while positive only for alcohol or for alcohol and drugs.
methodsIn 2018, a cross-sectional study was carried out in a representative sample of motor vehicle drivers on Spanish public roads, excluding cyclists and drivers of vehicles weighing more than 3,500 kg. 2,881 drivers were included in this study. Data was analysed with the statistics program SPSS 24.0.
results10.9% (95% CI, 9.8-12.1) of the drivers were positive cases for any substance: In 3.9% (3.2-4.6) alcohol alone (i.e., without any other substance), and in 0.8% (0.6-1.3) alcohol plus another substance, were observed. 2.1% (1.6-2.7) of the drivers had a level of alcohol in expired air higher than the legal allowed limit for drivers (>0.25 mg/L, that excluding novice and profesional drivers). 0.4% (0.2-0.7) of the drivers had an alcohol concentration in expired air >0.60 mg/L. Driving with the presence of alcohol and drugs is observed in two out of ten positive cases for alcohol.
conclusionsDriving while positive for alcohol is common among Spanish drivers, and drivers positive for alcohol and drugs should not be ignored.
