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
objectiveOverservice (i.e., venues serving alcohol to intoxicated drinkers) is a major contributor to alcohol-related harm. This article estimates the proportion of all alcohol sold in on-trade premises in Great Britain that is drunk by people likely to already be intoxicated. Secondary analyses explore variations by age and gender and from 2009 to 2017.
methodWe used cross-sectional data from 1-week drinking diaries collected continuously from 2009 to 2017 via a nationally representative stratified quota sample of 90,968 adults resident in Britain who consumed alcohol in the on-trade across 139,938 occasions. We first identify the amount of pure alcohol consumed in occasions after individuals reach each of three consumption thresholds indicating potential intoxication: at least increasing risk (>48/64 g for women/men), at least high risk (>96/128 g), and very high risk (>144/192 g). We then calculate the proportion of all alcohol consumed in the on-trade each year that is accounted for by consumption beyond these thresholds.
resultsIn 2017, of all on-trade alcohol consumed, an estimated 43.3% was drunk by those who had already drunk to increasing risk levels, 20.5% by those who had already drunk to high risk levels, and 10.1% by those who had already drunk to very high risk levels. Greater proportions of the alcohol consumed by women and younger people was consumed beyond these levels, but the proportion did not change substantially from 2009 to 2017.
conclusionsDepending on the consumption threshold used, potentially intoxicated drinkers consume between 10% and 43% of pure alcohol drunk in on-trade venues in Great Britain, suggesting that overservice is commonplace.
