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

Alcohol consumption is a significant public health concern in the US, increasingly impacting racial/ethnic minority youth. This study investigates binge drinking from adolescence to mature adulthood among Asian and Latinx Americans, using three waves of Add Health data and mixed-effects (melogit) modeling technique. Nativity and gender were used as key moderating variables. Guided by the acculturative risk framework, which posits that immigrants' healthier behavioral profiles diminish with longer US residence, the findings from this study offer only partial support for this hypothesis but provide stronger evidence for selection effects. Immigrants reported lower binge drinking rates than their US-born counterparts. While some acculturative risk was observed (e.g., English use among Latinx individuals), most immigrant segments maintained healthier profiles. Notably, immigrant females, particularly within the Latinx group, exhibited the flattest binge drinking trajectories, highlighting gender as a fundamental indicator of selective retention of alcohol consumption among US immigrants.
