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
Objective: Alcohol dependence is strongly associated with aggressive behavior, particularly in males. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship are not fully understood. This study aims to examine the differential mediating roles of three forms of impulsivity (motor, cognitive, and non-planning) and anxiety in the link between alcohol dependence and aggression among Chinese male alcohol-dependent patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in ten main psychiatric hospitals of northern China, and a total of 414 male alcohol-dependent subjects were surveyed by using purposive sampling. Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, and Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire were utilized. Mediation analysis and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the associations among alcohol dependence, anxiety, impulsivity, and aggression. Results: The results of mediation analysis indicated that motor impulsivity and lack of planning showed the chain mediations with anxiety in the link of alcohol dependence and aggression ( Conclusions: The findings suggest that motor impulsivity and anxiety may play important roles in mediating the association between alcohol dependence and aggression, highlighting potential targets for intervention.
