Relationship between high-risk alcohol consumption and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) seroconversion: a prospective sero-epidemiological cohort study among American college students.
Article in Addiction (Abingdon, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
aimsTo estimate the associations between high-risk alcohol consumption and (1) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) seroconversion, (2) self-reported new SARS-CoV-2 infection and (3) symptomatic COVID-19.
designProspective cohort study.
settingIndiana University Bloomington (IUB), IN, USA.
participantsA total of 1027 IUB undergraduate students (64% female), aged 18 years or older, residing in Monroe County, Indiana, seronegative for SARS-CoV-2 at study baseline. MEASUREMENTS: Primary exposure was high-risk alcohol consumption measured with an Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) questionnaire score of 8 or more. Primary outcome was SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion since baseline, assessed with two SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests, at baseline (September 2020) and end-line (November 2020). Secondary outcomes were (a) self-reported new SARS-CoV-2 infection at the study end-line and (b) self-reported symptomatic COVID-19 at baseline.
findingsPrevalence of high-risk alcohol consumption was 32 %. In models adjusted for demographics, students with high-risk alcohol consumption status had 2.44 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.35, 4.25] times the risk of SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion and 1.84 (95% CI = 1.04, 3.28) times the risk of self-reporting a positive SARS-CoV-2 infection, compared with students with no such risk. We did not identify any association between high-risk alcohol consumption and symptomatic COVID-19 (prevalence ratio = 1.17, 95% CI = 0.93, 1.47). Findings from sensitivity analyses corroborated these results and suggested potential for a dose-response relationship.
conclusionsAmong American college students, high-risk alcohol consumption appears to be associated with higher risk for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 seroconversion/infection.
