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
objectiveYoung adults experiencing homelessness are at high risk for alcohol-related consequences, but protective behavioral strategies (PBS) have not been investigated as a harm reduction approach in this population. This study examines longitudinal associations between PBS and alcohol-related consequences following a group-based alcohol intervention.
methodData come from AWARE, a randomized controlled trial of a group-based motivational intervention to reduce substance use and risky sex compared to usual care. Participants include 276 young adults experiencing homelessness (
resultsPBS were associated with significant wave-to-wave reductions in alcohol consequences (δ range = -2.53 to -11.22), and alcohol consequences were associated with significant reductions in PBS usage between the 3- and 6-month follow-ups (δ = -0.02,
conclusionsAmong young adults experiencing homelessness, greater use of PBS is associated with significant reductions in alcohol consequences over time. Furthermore, PBS may increase following a group-based motivational intervention. PBS are a promising harm reduction strategy for this population.
