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

Objectives: To analyze whether higher alcohol consumption is associated with negative attitudes towards stricter alcohol control policy measures in Estonia. Study design: Cross-sectional analysis of nationally representative data from 2022 (n = 2059). Methods: Attitudes towards seven alcohol control measures and their association with high-risk alcohol consumption (>140 g absolute alcohol for men and >70 g for women per week) were analyzed using used descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression using nationally representative data on Estonian 15-74-year-old population. Results: In general, high-risk consumption associated with lower acceptance for alcohol control policies. Although men had higher prevalence of opposing alcohol control measure for every item considered, both men and women with high-risk alcohol consumption were significantly more likely to be against alcohol control measures in general even after accounting for the variation by demographic characteristics. Conclusions: As public opinion is detrimental to the successful implementation of alcohol policies, these findings emphasize the need to communicate alcohol-related harms to the public in order to increase awareness and support for alcohol control policies.
