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

backgroundAlcohol use disorder and alcohol-associated liver disease is increasing in the US, with subsequent and expected increases in morbidity and mortality due to these conditions.

aimsTo determine the impact of an educational intervention regarding alcohol use disorder on gastroenterology fellows.

methodsA before-after survey study was carried out. Subjects were gastroenterology fellows at an urban tertiary care facility, who completed a pre-questionnaire and then attended a one-hour educational lecture on alcohol use disorder, alcohol-related liver disease, and treatment/resources available for patients. Immediately after the 1-h lecture, fellows were asked to complete a post-questionnaire and then a delayed questionnaire three months later. Pre- and post-answers were averaged out of a scale of 5 and analyzed using t-tests.

resultsThe study included eight fellows. Post-intervention, 12% of fellows felt more confident in having adequate training to provide alcohol use disorder counseling to their patients, 25% felt more confident in who they should refer their patients to for alcohol use disorder, and 16% felt more comfortable in being able to speak with their patients regarding alcohol use disorder and help effectively reduce their patients' consumption of alcohol (p value < 0.05).

conclusionA 1-h presentation discussing the complexities associated with diagnosing and treating alcohol use disorder, and the methods of helping destigmatize the disease in the medical community, can increase trainees' confidence and knowledge base to help treat patients with alcohol use disorder in the clinic setting and reducing liver morbidity.
