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.

This paper draws upon situational action theory (SAT) to frame and test the relationship between alcohol intoxication and violence in adolescents from on-going longitudinal studies in two European countries: the Malmö Individual and Neighbourhood Development Study (MINDS, N = 514) based in Malmö, Sweden, and the Peterborough Adolescent and Young Adult Development Study (PADS + , N = 704) based in Peterborough, UK. Using data from participants at ages 15-16, this paper assesses if SAT's explanation for the relationship between adolescents' alcohol use and violence is applicable in both countries, despite significant differences in their rates of alcohol use and violence. Theorizing that alcohol use influences violence by (temporarily) reducing a person's ability to exercise self-control, the paper anticipates and finds a robust interaction between alcohol use and self-control in predicting violence in both samples. To account for differences in the samples' need to exercise self-control, the paper also examines differences in violence-relevant moral attitudes and exposure. By contextualizing intoxication, this analysis is able to account for all statistical differences in violence between British and Swedish adolescents, suggesting that while British and Swedish youths differ in their
