Substance Use Among Collegiate Athletes Versus Non-athletes.
Article in Athletic training & sports health care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Purpose: To supplement the literature on substance misuse by collegiate athletes by expanding the number of substances typically examined and include mental health symptom covariates related to both sleep and substance use. Methods: Substance use was assessed with the following item: "Within the last 30 days, on how many days did you use?" with a list of 17 substances. Multinomial logistic regression analysis examined each substance variable as outcome and athlete status as predictor. Results: Findings of the fully adjusted model indicated that compared to non-athletes, collegiate athletes were most likely to be past users of alcohol, occasional users of smokeless tobacco, alcohol, and steroids, and frequent users of smokeless tobacco. Conclusions: The significant differences shown between collegiate athletes and non-athletes may reflect differences in intentions to improve performance, pain management, and stress management. Future studies should seek to elucidate the underreported and self-reported phenomena among this population.
