Alcohol Use in the Early Postpartum Period: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study to Understand the Role of Self-Efficacy.

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
introductionThis study investigated daily associations between maternal self-efficacy (MSE), drinking self-efficacy (DSE), alcohol urges and alcohol use in the first 6 weeks postpartum, with the goal of informing a tailored just-in-time adaptive intervention for postpartum alcohol use.
methodsEcological momentary assessment was conducted with 37 postpartum mothers with pre-pregnancy at-risk alcohol use. Participants completed surveys on their smartphones five times a day for 14 days and reported on MSE, DSE, urge to drink and alcohol use.
resultsBoth MSE and DSE demonstrated within-subject variability. MSE and DSE were significantly positively correlated. MSE reported in the morning significantly predicted the likelihood of drinking that day. DSE was not associated with daily drinking. Neither MSE nor DSE were associated with the urge to drink. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsBoth MSE and DSE demonstrated greater within-person change across days than within a single day, and MSE showed more stability than DSE at the within-person level. Lower reported MSE in the morning was associated with a greater likelihood of drinking that day. MSE may be a more important intervention target than DSE in the postpartum population. These findings will directly inform just-in-time adaptive intervention development. Future research will examine momentary associations among these constructs and explore contextual factors influencing MSE and DSE fluctuations.
