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

introductionAlcohol consumption in university students is a public health problem that is especially relevant nursing students because of their role as future health professionals.

aimsTo analyze the prevalence of hazardous drinkers and associated factors in nursing students from the Faculty of Nursing of Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha.

methodsDescriptive cross-sectional study in 296 students of the Faculty of Nursing of Albacete (Spain) during the academic year 2023–2024. Sociodemographic variables, lifestyle habits and alcohol consumption data were collected validated questionnaires (ISCA and IPAQ-SF). Bivariate analyses and logistic regression were performed to explore associations.

resultsA total of 10.8% of the participants were classified as hazardous drinkers, with a higher prevalence in women (12.1%) than in men (4.2%), but the difference was not statistically significant. Smoking was associated with alcohol consumption (OR: 0.214). No significant associations were found with social class or type of coexistence, although a greater trend was observed among those who resided outside the family home. In men, coming from intermediate locations was associated with a higher prevalence of hazardous drinkers (p = 0.004).

conclusionsThe prevalence of hazardous drinkers in nursing students was lower than that reported in other university populations, possibly influenced by their training in health. The association between smoking and alcohol consumption is highlighted, highlighting the need for integrated preventive strategies that promote healthy habits and train these future professionals to address the risk behaviors of their patients in their clinical practice.
