Age- and sex-standardized prevalence of alcohol consumption and its determinants in the western region of Iran, Ilam: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 AND
objectiveIn recent years, alcohol consumption in different parts of Iran has increased. However, this growth was dramatic in deprived regions. The percent study aimed to determine the age-sex standardized prevalence of alcohol consumption and related factors in the general population of Ilam city during 2021-2022.
methodThis population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the general population of Ilam city located in western Iran. A total of 1,431 individuals over the age of 15 were included in the study using multi-stage cluster sampling. Alcohol consumption was assessed using a Persian version of high-risk behavior questionnaire (Cronbach's alpha > 73%). Analysis was done by Stata version 11 and R Software. Logistic regression analysis was used for data analysis and calculating odds ratio (OR), and a significance level of 0.05 was considered.
resultsIn total 1,431 individuals completed the questionnaire. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) age of the study participants was 43.40 ± 15.51 years. The age-sex standardized prevalence with 95% confidence interval (CI) of alcohol consumption was 4.05% (95% CI: 3.09 to 5.20). Based on multiple logistic model, having a bachelor's degree (OR: 7.13; 95% CI: 1.89 to 26.76), cigarette smoking (OR: 6.92; 95% CI: 2.94 to 16.29), hookah smoking (OR: 7.34; 95% CI: 3.09 to 17.47) and drug abuse (OR: 2.88; 95% CI: 1.38 to 5.99) had a positive association with alcohol consumption. Furthermore, having a high economic status 0.62 (OR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.26 to 1.48) had a negative association with alcohol consumption. The most powerful determinants (according to standardized coefficient) for alcohol consumption were hookah smoking (standardized coefficient: 0.588) and high education level (0.743).
conclusionConsidering the prevalence of alcohol consumption in the population over 15 years old, it is necessary to take preventive and intervention measures, with more attention from health policymakers and other sectors.
