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

backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemics caused both physical and mental health problems raising global social tension, anxiety and discomfort which toghether lead to the increase in the consumption of psychoactive substances, among which alcohol was the most common, as a way of self-help. The hypothesis of this paper is the rising number of type II (anxious model) and type III (depressive model) alcohol dependent patients (as identified by the Lesch Typology) in the post-COVID-19 pandemic period compared to the pre-pandemic period, as a likely consequence of the stress, fear, problems and adversities that were caused by the pandemic.

methodThe research was conducted as a retrospective cross-sectional study. It included 218 patients who were diagnosed with alcohol dependence. To classify the patients by the Lesch Typology, the MS Windows softer package for data processing available in public domain was used.

resultsIn relation to the Lesch Typology, 111 (50.9%) patients belonged to type III, 45 (20.6%) to type I, 37 (17.0%) to type II and 25 (11.5%) to type IV.

conclusionCompared to the pre-pandemic findings of alcohol dependents classification according to the Lesch Typology, there was no increase in types II and III after the COVID-19 pandemic.
