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

backgroundAlcohol-induced blackouts (AIBs) are a common and serious consequence of drinking in young adults. AIBs are associated with experiencing increased alcohol-related consequences. To inform efforts to reduce alcohol-related harms on especially risky drinking days that result in AIBs, we sought to identify contextual factors that contribute to excess AIB-associated harms. This study aims to (1) examine relationships between AIBs and four consequence domains; and (2) explore how these relationships differ by social context and location.

methodsYoung adults (N = 175, 52.6% female, 86.9% White, M

resultsAIBs were significantly associated with experiencing 15% more positive consequences, 205% more common consequences, 367% more uncommon consequences, and 166% more alcohol-related problems. AIBs were more strongly associated with common consequences and alcohol-related problems when drinking occurred exclusively with family, friend(s), and/or a romantic partner (vs. with a large group). AIBs were also more strongly associated with common consequences when drinking took place exclusively at a residential location (vs. non-residential). No other significant moderating effects were observed.

conclusionsDays with an AIB were associated with experiencing significantly more positive and negative alcohol-related consequences compared to days without an AIB. Our findings support the notion that the context in which drinking occurs is an important consideration for reducing alcohol-related harms.
