Adolescents' Exposure to Zero-Alcohol Advertisements and Attitudes and Consumption Intentions Towards Alcohol: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Drug and alcohol review, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionExposure to alcohol advertising is a key influence on adolescent alcohol consumption. Zero-alcohol drinks (< 0.5% alcohol by volume) resemble and often share brands with alcoholic drinks, so may function as surrogate alcohol marketing. We examined whether exposure to zero-alcohol advertising was associated with adolescents' attitudes and consumption intentions towards alcohol.
methodsN = 382 Australians aged 15-17 years completed a cross-sectional online survey where they viewed zero-alcohol advertisements from four parent alcohol brands and reported past exposure and liking of each advertisement, attitudes and consumption intentions towards alcohol products from the parent brand, general attitudes and consumption intentions towards alcohol, self-reported location-based exposure to zero-alcohol advertising, prior alcohol and zero-alcohol consumption, and demographics. Associations between exposure and liking, attitudes, and consumption intentions were examined using linear mixed effect models and linear regression.
resultsAdjusting for prior zero-alcohol and alcohol consumption, gender and parent presence during survey completion, attitudes towards and intentions to consume alcohol from the parent brand were associated with previous zero-alcohol advertisement exposure (attitudes: B = 0.22, p = 0.005; intentions: B = 0.20, p = 0.002) and zero-alcohol advertisement liking (attitudes: B = 1.42, p < 0.001; intentions: B = 0.67, p < 0.001). No associations were found between self-reported location-based exposure to zero-alcohol advertising and general attitudes and consumption intentions towards alcohol. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsFindings that adolescents who see and like zero-alcohol advertisements have more favourable attitudes towards and stronger intentions to consume parent alcohol brands suggest that zero-alcohol advertisements may serve as surrogate alcohol marketing, supporting calls to include them within alcohol advertising regulations.
