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.
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
BackgroundAlthough global drinking rates are declining, this trend is less evident among women, with LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary people at elevated risk for hazardous drinking. In addition to minority stress (e.g., stigma, discrimination), drinking culture and social norms likely shape alcohol use within these groups, yet remain underexplored as potential intervention points.ObjectiveThis study was part of a larger multi-country project on alcohol use among LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary individuals. Because online resources have been found to appeal to stigmatized groups, we aimed to examine LGBTQ+ women's and nonbinary people's experiences with alcohol use in Aotearoa New Zealand, identify barriers and facilitators to reducing drinking, and explore their views on features of online interventions that may be acceptable and effective.Design &; MethodsFrom July to October 2024, we conducted a web-based study using survey methods with LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary participants in Aotearoa New Zealand who drank alcohol at least once a week on average in the past six months.ResultsParticipants (N = 108; ages 18-69, M = 34, SD = 13) primarily identified as cisgender women (88%), lesbian (60%), and New Zealand European (56.5%). Many had attempted to cut back on their alcohol use, motivated primarily by health, harm reduction, and cost. Support for reducing alcohol consumption included social support, social alternatives to bars and clubs, and No or Lo alcohol beverage options. Open text responses suggested that online interventions were seen as potentially valuable if they focused on health and wellness rather than pathology and abstinence.ConclusionAffirming health-focused online interventions tailored for LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary people in New Zealand that center sober-curious empowerment, may help reduce harmful alcohol use.
