A Systematic Review of Evidence-Based Prevention Approaches for Alcohol Problems with Viability for Military Implementation.

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
introductionHazardous alcohol use in the military exceeds that of the general population and is associated with a host of negative personal, health, social, emotional, and occupational consequences. Prevention is a cost-effective way to reduce problematic drinking. Despite numerous reviews and meta-analyses synthesizing the literature on prevention programs targeting civilians, there is a dearth of such resources specifically targeting active duty service members and other military personnel. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize existing evidence-based prevention programs that have documented success in reducing the onset of alcohol problems in young adults, emphasizing programs that may be implementable in the U.S. military. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe identified alcohol prevention programs through two methods: we conducted (1) a meta-review of evidence-based prevention programs in clearinghouses and (2) a systematic review of alcohol-prevention evaluations in military settings.
resultsIntegrated results review 6 prevention programs that were identified as a good fit based on inclusion criteria (i.e., universal or selective prevention, administrable to individuals or small groups) with sufficient support for effectiveness. All included programs demonstrate research supporting their application in either active duty or veteran populations.
conclusionsThis review adds to the literature by synthesizing the current evidence-based prevention programs targeting the onset of alcohol problems, with an emphasis on those programs that have strong potential for successful implementation among military populations. Specific recommendations and considerations for implementation are provided.
