ArticleDrug and alcohol dependence2022
Examining how the geographic availability of alcohol within residential neighborhoods, activity spaces, and destination nodes is related to alcohol use by parents of young children.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 outlet density and drinking behaviors have been assessed based on where people live, but exposure may differ based on where people spend time. We assessed the relationship between alcohol outlet density (using three measures of geographic availability), frequency of use, and continued volume of alcohol among parents. Parents are a unique population of drinkers where the risk for harm to others can be higher as they are caring for minor children.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional telephone and web-based survey of 1599 parents in 2015 across 30 cities in California. Participants provided information on drinking, residential addresses, and locations of daily activities. We created three measures of alcohol availability using residential neighborhoods, convex hull polygons, and destination nodes. Data were analyzed using zero-inflated negative binomial models.
resultsDensity of bars in residential neighborhoods were related to more frequent drinking (b = 0.0139, 95% CI = 0.0016, 0.0261) and higher continued volume (b = 0.0295, 95% CI = 0.0067, 0.0522). Density of bars (b = 0.0070, 95% CI = 0.0019, 0.0121) and restaurants (b = 0.0018, 95% CI = 0.0003, 0.0033) in destination nodes were related to drinking a higher continued volume of alcohol. Higher off-premise outlet density was related to a lower continued volume (b = -0.0026, 95% CI = -0.0049, -0.0002).
conclusionsOutlet densities in residential neighborhood and destination nodes are related to frequency of drinking and continued volume of alcohol. Future work should seek to determine why and how residential neighborhoods and nodes are related to alcohol use behaviors and if they differ for parents compared to other adults.
