Pairing a Validated Alcohol Intervention With Social Media Alcohol Risk Identification: Impact on Alcohol Behaviors and Social Media Posts.
Trial report in The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeCommunity college (CC) students are an at-risk population for binge drinking and its consequences. The Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) is an evidence-based, feasible, and acceptable intervention to reduce risky drinking. Without a college health center, CC students may not have access to interventions like BASICS. Social media may present novel opportunities for identification and intervention. This brief describes secondary outcomes of alcohol behaviors and displayed alcohol references from Social Media-Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students, a social media-based randomized controlled trial.
methodsParticipants were recruited from 5 CC campuses. Data collection included self-reported alcohol behaviors and 9 months of observed alcohol displays on social media content. Participants who posted escalated alcohol displays on social media were randomized to the BASICS intervention or active control.
resultsOf 172 participants (mean age 22.9, 92% female), 101 displayed alcohol escalation on social media and were randomized. Intervention participants (n = 51) reported a significant within-group reduction of nearly 2 binge drinking episodes monthly (-1.64, 95% CI: 1.19-2.28, p = .003). Reductions in monthly displayed alcohol references of approximately 2 posts per month were observed for both groups. DISCUSSION: This pilot intervention showed modest reductions in binge drinking and support further testing of the Social Media-Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students intervention.
