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
This study aimed to estimate the association between urban physical disorder and alcohol consumption in Brazilian adolescents. The sample was composed of 2,384 adolescents, aged 12 to 17, resident in Brazilian capitals and participants in the Study of Cardiovascular Risk in Adolescents (ERICA), a school-based cross-sectional study undertaken in 2013 and 2014. The outcome variable was alcoholic beverage consumption characterized as having drunk an alcoholic beverage at least once in the previous 30 days. The exposure variable was urban physical disorder measured according to the urban features in the 2010 Demographic Census. The total effect of the indicators of exposure to urban physical disorder on the consumption of alcohol among adolescents was estimated using Poisson regression models with robust variance. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for each exposure, controlling for possible confounding variables. Adolescents living in areas with paved roads and manholes presented higher prevalence of alcohol consumption (adjusted PR = 1.24, 95%CI: 1.02; 1.50 and adjusted PR = 1.36, 95%CI: 1.01; 1.84, respectively). Conversely, the presence of wheelchair ramps and open sewers was associated with a lower prevalence of alcohol consumption (adjusted PR = 0.79, 95%CI: 0.62; 0.99 and adjusted PR = 0.80, 95%CI: 0.66; 0.97, respectively). These findings suggest that urban contextual factors can influence alcohol consumption among adolescents. Understanding these factors may aid in the development of public health policies that promote healthier urban environments.
