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 use disorder is a serious health problem with high comorbidities. Early-onset alcohol use has been associated with greater impulsivity, increased severity of dependence, frequent alcohol withdrawal complications, externalizing symptoms, and antisocial behaviors. We aimed to evaluate the psychiatric comorbidities and severity of addiction in early- and late-onset alcohol dependence.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study. All patients fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of alcohol dependence as per
resultsOut of the 112 patients screened, 57 met the selection criteria, 26 were with early-onset and 31 with late-onset alcohol dependence. The patients were all males. The patients with early-onset alcohol dependence had a higher family history (P = 0.006) and were nonearning (P = 0.002) in comparison to the group with late-onset dependence. The comorbidity among all patients was 59.6% and 84.2% in current and lifetime frames, respectively. It was significantly higher in the early-onset group, both for current (P = 0.015) and lifetime (P = 0.031) frames. On the domains of Addiction Severity Index 5th edition, the early-onset group had a more severe profile of addiction in all domains except the medical domain.
conclusionComorbidity is high among patients with alcohol dependence and is even higher for the early-onset group. The family history was higher in the early-onset group and they have more severe profile of substance use.
