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
Background: Forced displacement is high globally as populations are increasingly displaced by conflicts and disasters. Substance misuse is increasingly recognized as a major cause of morbidity and mortality in displaced populations. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the correlates of alcohol misuse among internally displaced adults in Northern Cross River, Nigeria. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Ogoja displacement settlements. Three-hundred and thirty-five displaced adults were selected using snowball sampling method. Alcohol dependence was measured using the interviewer-administered Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and multivariable logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of alcohol misuse was 26.3%. The multivariate analysis revealed that male gender (AOR=7.28; p<0.001), farming occupation (AOR=4.44; p=0.003), discrimination (AOR=3.49; p=0.001), financial strains (AOR=0.12; p=0.002), overcrowded shelters (AOR=3.49; p=0.001), fear of reprisals (AOR=2.49; p=0.016), and concerns about health and safety (AOR=0.087; p<0.001) were significantly associated with alcohol dependence among IDPs in this study. Conclusion: These findings indicate that nearly three out of every ten displaced adults were alcohol-dependent as a result of traumatic events, life events, and deprivation of basic care. Protection, social, and psychological remedies are required to foster relief and reintegration efforts for internally displaced persons in Nigeria.
