1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveSexually and gender-minoritized (SGM) adolescents report higher rates of alcohol use and heavy episodic drinking than their heterosexual, cisgender peers. School-based victimization is a known risk factor, but less research considers protective school factors such as experiences in Gender-Sexuality Alliances (GSAs). The present study takes a person-centered approach to examine how experiences in GSAs and with school-based victimization relate to alcohol use and heavy episodic drinking among SGM members.

methodData stem from a study on members' GSA experiences (N = 469;

resultsA 4-profile solution best fit the data. Profiles were characterized as

conclusionsThis study was the first to explore the association between GSA experiences and victimization with alcohol use and documented differing profiles of experiences. GSAs can play a potential role in fostering healthy coping and supporting discussions around substance use.
