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: Adolescent substance use is a significant issue which occurs during a critical period of life of youth. Perceived stress is a risk factor for adolescent substance use, and life events such as low family support, and community and familial turmoil often lead to ongoing feelings of stress and uncertainty. Similarly, structural factors such as poverty, local neighborhood disinvestment and disrepair, and exposure to racism and discrimination are linked to feelings of stress. The US-Mexico border region is favorable for drug smuggling. Such a context exacerbates stressful life events during adolescence and increases the risk of adolescent substance use. This study aims to investigate the impact family support has on substance use in adolescents living on either side of the U.S./Mexico border who self-reported high perceptions of disordered neighborhood stress, border community and immigration stress, or normalization of drug trafficking. Methods: This study used data from the cross-sectional BASUS survey. Logistic regression was used to study the association between family support and past 30-day use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and any substance in a sample restricted to students who self-reported high perceptions of disordered neighborhood stress, border community and immigration stress, or normalization of drug trafficking. Results: Participants with low family support were at higher risk of using any substance compared to participants with high family support (aOR= 1.58, 95% CI: 1.02; 2.45). Similar results were found for alcohol (aOR= 1.79, 95% CI: 1.13, 2.83). While the odds of using tobacco were higher for those with low social support as compared to participants with higher social support, this association was not statistically significant (aOR = 1.74, 95% CI: 0.93, 3.27). Conclusion: Prevention programs tailored to the U.S.-Mexico border region should emphasize strengthening family support as a preventive factor against adolescent substance use. Family support should be considered in school counseling assessments, healthcare screenings and other social services.
