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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Sexual minority cisgender women, transgender men and women, and nonbinary or gender diverse (SMW/TGD) people experience disproportionately high rates of hazardous drinking and posttraumatic stress symptoms, due in part to elevated exposure to trauma, stigma-related stressors and related adaptations, and barriers to accessing affirming care. Existing integrated alcohol-trauma interventions have rarely been evaluated or culturally adapted for SMW/TGD people, underscoring the need for scalable, culturally responsive approaches for this population. This protocol describes development and pilot testing of Recovery through Inhibitory learning, Self-Efficacy promoting, problem-solving, and community building (RISE), a brief, culturally responsive telehealth intervention integrating selected Unified Protocol modules with exposure-based expressive writing for trauma-exposed SMW/TGD adults with hazardous drinking and at least subthreshold PTSD symptoms. Methods: Guided by the ADAPT-ITT framework, Aim 1 will adapt RISE using community- and provider-engaged methods with 20 SMW/TGD community members and 10 mental/behavioral health providers. Aim 2 will pilot RISE in a randomized trial comparing immediate treatment ( Conclusion: This study will generate preliminary data regarding feasibility, acceptability, and clinical promise of a brief, scalable intervention addressing hazardous drinking, posttraumatic stress, and stigma-related stressors and related adaptations among SMW/TGD populations. Findings will inform refinement of RISE and a future fully powered randomized controlled trial. Trial registration number: Registered on 15 October 2025 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT07217795).
