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
Background: Myanmar migrant workers in Southern Thailand contribute significantly to the local economy but face challenges including harmful drinking patterns and poor environmental conditions that negatively impact their social interactions. Understanding these factors is crucial for developing effective interventions. Objectives: To examine how alcohol consumption and environmental conditions affect social relationship problems among Myanmar migrant workers in Southern Thailand. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 516 Myanmar migrant workers who consume alcohol. Data were collected through structured interviews covering demographic characteristics, drinking patterns, and social relationship issues. Statistical analysis using Generalized Linear Mixed Models identified factors associated with social relationship problems. Results: Nearly two-thirds of participants (63.37 %, 95 %CI: 59.11-67.43) experienced at least one social relationship problem. Major risk factors included harmful drinking patterns (AOR=2.61, 95 %CI: 2.26-3.01), working in agriculture (AOR=2.04, 95 %CI: 1.17-3.55), and insufficient income (AOR=2.01, 95 %CI: 1.18-3.41). Workers living in rural communities (AOR=3.58, 95 %CI: 1.81-7.06) and those facing moderate-to-high workplace environmental problems (AOR=3.14, 95 %CI: 2.52-3.91) also showed significantly higher risks. Conclusion: This study highlights the critical roles of alcohol consumption and environmental factors in shaping social relationships among Myanmar migrant workers. Interventions should target harmful drinking behaviors, improve workplace conditions, and promote social integration to enhance the well-being of this vulnerable population.
