1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundU.S. health surveillance data suggests that alcohol consumption is similar among cancer survivors and those without a cancer history. However, comparisons of the correlates of alcohol consumption between cancer survivors and those without a cancer history are lacking.

aimsThe purpose of this study was to examine correlates of alcohol use, particularly cancer-related beliefs, and if correlates differed by cancer history.

methodsMerged data from the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) 5, cycles 2-4 and HINTS 6 were analyzed to estimate patterns of current drinking among US adults with and without a cancer history. Multivariable logistic regression models examined associations among cancer history, cancer-related beliefs, and drinking. Stratified models by cancer history were also examined.

resultsCancer history was not associated with current drinking in adjusted models (aOR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.82-1.15, p = 0.742). After adjusting for demographic, behavioral, socio-economic, and health factors, cancer-related beliefs were not associated with current drinking. Correlates of drinking differed between adults with and without a cancer history. For example, among those without a cancer history, Black compared to White adults had lower odds of current drinking (OR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.67-0.96, p = 0.017); among cancer survivors, no association was found.

conclusionsAlcohol use is similar among adults regardless of cancer history; yet the correlates of alcohol use differed by cancer history. A better understanding of the determinants of alcohol use among cancer survivors is needed to inform tailored alcohol reduction interventions.
