The link between planning and doing: Daily-level associations between college students' plans for and use of alcohol-related protective behavioral strategies.
Article in Psychology of addictive behaviors : journal of the Society of Psychologists in Addictive Behaviors, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 current study expands the literature on alcohol-related protective behavioral strategies (PBS) that individuals may use to reduce risk of intoxication and/or consequences. This study used daily data collected prospectively to test (a) the extent to which college students' plans for using different types of PBS on a given day were associated with actual PBS use and (b) whether drinking intentions moderated the strength of the association between PBS plans and use.
methodCollege students ages 18-24 (
resultsAs hypothesized, for each PBS subscale, afternoon PBS plans were positively associated with use of that type of strategy later that night. Moderation results showed a larger positive association between daily limiting/stopping plans and use of limiting/stopping strategies on days when drinking intentions were elevated compared to days with lower drinking intentions.
conclusionsFindings indicated that college students do plan to use PBS ahead of drinking occasions, and when students had stronger than usual plans for PBS, they tended to follow through on their plans. It may be beneficial to enhance students' PBS plans in interventions by addressing potential barriers to PBS. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
