Randomized Trial Shows Smartphone Support App for DWI Offenders and Their Families Reduced Alcohol Use and Ignition Interlock Device Lockouts.
Trial report in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2026. 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
objectiveDriving while intoxicated (DWI) remains a preventable source of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Ignition interlock devices (IIDs) are used to prevent DWI offenders from driving while intoxicated during a mandated installation period and are effective during that time. Once IIDs are removed, DWI rates are similar to levels for offenders who had no IID. This study tested the efficacy of a smartphone app (B-SMART) for DWI offenders with an IID and concerned family members (CFMs), with the goal of reducing IID lockout events and alcohol consumption.
methodFour B-SMART app modules were developed: (a) Life with Interlock, (b) Supporting Changes in Drinking, (c) Doing Things Together, and (d) Effective Communication. Participants (pairs of DWI offenders and CFMs) were randomly assigned to receive the B-SMART app (
resultsIID data were collected on 62% (
conclusionsResults suggest that the B-SMART app reduced IID lockout events and DWI offender alcohol consumption. These outcomes are important because fewer IID lockout events predict lower DWI recidivism.
