[Low-risk alcohol drinking limits based on associated mortality.]
Synthesis 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 4 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
backgroundAlcohol is associated with all-cause mortality increase. However, when this increase takes place has not been clearly established. The objective of this study was to establish the levels of alcohol consumption that can be considered low risk for overall mortality.
methodsSystematic review of cohort studies published since 2014 that established a relationship between general mortality and alcohol consumption in the general population. Those studies not conducted in countries with Spain socio-cultural environment and those that present conflicts of interest were excluded.
resultsThe median of alcohol consumption (in grams) from which mortality increased was 23-25 g/day. Differentiating by sex, these values were 20 g/day in women and 24 g/day in men. The minimum value of the median from which an increase in mortality was observed was 17-21 g/day of alcohol; 12 g/day in women and 20 g/day in men.
conclusionsIf we take into account caution principle, taking more conservative levels of average alcohol consumption from which an increase in mortality was observed, low-risk consumption should be 20 g/day in men and 10 g/day in women, assuming that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
