1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: Social media use among American adults is ubiquitous. Alcohol-related social media posts often glamorize heavy drinking, with increased exposure to such content associated with greater alcohol use. Comparatively less is known, however, about how social media promotes alcohol-related health behavior change. Greater scientific knowledge in this area may enhance our understanding of the relationship between social media and alcohol behaviors, helping to inform clinical and public health recommendations. We examined the relationship between exposure to peer alcohol-related social media posts (pro-drinking, negative consequences, and pro-treatment/recovery) and treatment-seeking intentions among heavy drinkers, as well as potential mediators of the relationship (e.g., attitudes toward treatment effectiveness). Method: Hazardous drinking adults (aged 18-55 years) who use social media ( Results: Exposure to peer pro-drinking posts was negatively associated with intentions to seek treatment (
