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
Introduction: Screening teachers for hazardous alcohol consumption is important to designing interventions that promote a conducive teaching-learning environment. However, there is scarce evidence on screening activities among teachers in low-income countries, particularly in Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of hazardous alcohol consumption and associated factors among high-school teachers in Bahir Dar city, Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted in randomly selected 407 teachers. Hazardous alcohol consumption was assessed using the Fast Alcohol Screening Test, with a score ≥3 indicating a positive result. Data were collected electronically using EpiCollect5 through interviewer administration. SPSS (Version 25) was used for data analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regressions were carried out, and variables with a Results: The prevalence of hazardous alcohol consumption was 16% (95% CI=12.40, 19.54): 20.9% among men and 6.1% among women. The odds of hazardous drinking were higher among male participants (AOR=4.46, 95% CI=1.87, 10.60), among teachers aged <41 years (AOR=3.76, 95% CI=1.39, 10.1.5), among first-degree holders than among second-degree holders (AOR=2.72, 95% CI=1.14, 6.49), and among those who screened positive for psychological distress (AOR=4.28, 95% CI=2.15, 8.50). In addition, participant with low social support had 3.95 times higher odds of hazardous alcohol consumption (AOR=3.95, 95% CI=1.49, 10.45). Conclusions: Hazardous alcohol consumption was high in teachers, particularly when compared with previous literature examining hazardous alcohol consumption in the general population. This refers to integrating lifestyle and other psychosocial interventions in the teachers' development programs to prevent alcohol consumption, with more emphasis on younger employees, men, those who experience psychological distress, and those who lack close interpersonal relationships.
