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
purposeWe investigated the influence of COVID-19 pandemic-related factors and cultural identification on indicators of alcohol-exposed pregnancy (AEP) risk among urban American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) youth ages 16-20.
methodsPath analysis was used to evaluate associations among measures collected at baseline of the Native WYSE CHOICES, an intervention study to reduce AEP risk among urban AIAN youth. Data were collected nationally from 439 female-at-birth AIAN youth (mean age 18.1 years) residing in urban areas.
resultsIdentification with Native American culture and heritage was significantly and positively associated with self-efficacy to abstain from alcohol (β = 0.178; p < .001), and, indirectly, significantly and negatively associated with the risk of AEP (β = -0.046; p = .001). Alternatively, distress about the pandemic's consequences for Native American communities and experiencing economic impacts exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic were significantly and negatively associated with self-efficacy to abstain from alcohol (respectively: β = -0.165, p < .01; β = -0.126, p < .01) and, indirectly, significantly and positively associated with risk of AEP (respectively: β = 0.043, p < .01; β = 0.033, p < .05). DISCUSSION: Results underscore the protective role that connectedness to Native American culture and heritage plays directly and indirectly in AEP risk potential. Conversely, the experience of economic barriers and distress over loss of Native American population and culture are direct and indirect risk factors for potential AEP risk. Development of future AEP interventions for urban AIAN young adults should consider Native American cultural identification, historical trauma, and economic impacts in program design and implementation.
