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
backgroundThe term "day drinking" is used colloquially to refer to drinking alcohol during daytime hours and has become part of the vernacular surrounding alcohol use. Anecdotal evidence is suggestive of increased day drinking among women during the COVID-19 pandemic, but empirical studies are few. This study assessed changes in the time of day women consumed alcoholic beverages during the pandemic and investigated whether their difficulty balancing work, family, and self-care was associated with the initiation of daytime drinking.
methodsIn June of 2020, 546 women age 25 and older completed an online survey regarding their drinking behaviors pre- and post-COVID-19, perceived stress, COVID-19 anxiety, and degree of difficulty managing work, family, and personal care. Multivariate logistic regression models assessed associations between variables, controlling for women's sociodemographic characteristics.
resultsWomen shifted to drinking earlier in the day with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a specific increase in daytime drinking. Difficulty managing work, family, and self-care was associated with significantly greater odds of initiating day drinking, but perceived stress and COVID-19 anxiety were not.
conclusionsAlcohol consumption is harmful to women's health. In addition to work and family roles, researchers should continue to explore how self-care affects women's alcohol use, and specifically temporal patterns, especially in times of crisis.
