Barbershop talk: a hybrid-2 trial examining the effectiveness of a barbershop-placed screening, brief intervention, and referral (SBIRT) intervention.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05609344 (Barbershop Talk), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundBlack men who report unhealthy drinking experience more severe health outcomes and negative social consequences than other racialized groups. Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based, multilevel, integrated public health approach to delivering early intervention services for individuals at risk for unhealthy drinking, as well as the timely referral to more intensive treatment. SBIRTs have been implemented effectively in both primary care and emergency care settings. However, structural barriers to care (i.e., insurance status, culturally competent services, racism, discrimination, geography) may impede Black men’s access to evidence-based care for unhealthy drinking that is often located in medical settings.
methodsThis manuscript describes a protocol for the definitive Hybrid-II implementation trial, which aims to test the effectiveness of an SBIRT program delivered in barbershops and to gather data on strategies to support the successful implementation of this intervention in 60 barbershops. This study employs a wait-list, cluster-randomized, controlled design to assess the effectiveness of SBIRT in reducing the average number of drinking days and the number of unhealthy drinking days. DISCUSSION: This project has the potential to generate knowledge that will lead to improvements in the provision of alcohol interventions within the African American community. Furthermore, the use of the Hybrid-II design has the potential to enhance our understanding of strategies to support the implementation and sustainability of alcohol interventions in African American barbershops.
