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
Background: Since electric scooters were introduced as an urban means of transportation in Hamburg in June 2019, a high number of violations of the current laws regarding alcohol consumption by e‑scooter riders have been recorded. Objective: The aim of this study is to obtain an overview of traffic offences committed by e‑scooter drivers under the influence of alcohol, to classify their relevance in relation to other road user groups, and to draw a first interim balance with respect to their frequency after 1.5 years. Material and methods: The data of all e‑scooter drivers ( Results: 9.6% of the total number of offences against the road traffic regulations in connection with subsequent determination of the blood alcohol concentration were committed by e‑scooter drivers. 87.7% of those examined were male. The blood alcohol concentration was above the limit of 1.10 ‰ for absolute driving incapacity when using a passenger car in 76.9% of those examined. An accumulation of cases was particularly noticeable at night and at weekends.Due to imprecise records, a certain number of unreported e‑scooter incidents can be assumed among the unspecified motor vehicles. Conclusion: As e‑scooter drivers make up a considerable proportion of drunken road users and the accidents mostly occur at night and at weekends, increased education and, if necessary, a driving ban at these times would seem to make sense.
