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

Purpose of Review: College students' alcohol-related regretted sex is linked to adverse health outcomes. However, studies report inconsistent prevalence estimates and gender differences. Recent Findings: A search of five databases yielded 15 studies. Lifetime alcohol-related regretted sex prevalence ranged from 14%-48% for women and 38%-47% for men; past year ranged 18%-34% for women and 22%-28% for men; past six months was reported as 18% for women and 15% for men; past month was 12% for women and 11% for men. Two studies found men more likely to regret alcohol-related sex, one found women more likely, two reported mixed results, and 10 found no significant gender differences. Summary: Findings suggest alcohol-related regretted sex is not a consistently gendered phenomenon among college students which has implications for the development of universal vs. group-specific interventions. Longitudinal studies of types of regretted sex among diverse students are needed to examine changes over time and inform age-specific interventions. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40429-026-00764-w.
