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
Alcohol consumption has been associated with metabolic risk factors (hypertension and diabetes) for non-communicable diseases (NCDS). No studies have been done in Zimbabwe linking alcohol consumption patterns and metabolic risk factors for NCDs. This study sought to compare the prevalence of alcohol consumption levels and practices between rural and urban areas among male adults and assess the relationship between alcohol consumption and metabolic risk factors for NCDs. This study made use of the cross-sectional survey using the WHO stepwise questionnaire. The indicator used in the sample size calculation was based on the proportion of men and women found to be obese when using the standard BMI measurement adopted in the 2010 Zimbabwe Demographic and Health survey. This gave a sample size of 400 with 200 participants from each of the 2 provinces. Regression analysis was performed for relationships between alcohol consumption and blood pressure, blood glucose and demographic variables. The high-income earners consumed more than the low-income earners. Those aged 25 to 34 years were more likely to consume more than those aged 18 to 24 years. The rural group was 79% (0.207 [0.770-0.559]
