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

Excessive alcohol consumption is a concern on college campuses, yet most data are gathered from self-report surveys, which require college students to identify standard drink sizes. Unfortunately, they typically cannot define or pour standard drinks, rendering the reliability and validity of these data questionable. Researchers have suggested the provision of feedback to college students might improve these skills. However, evidence for this is limited by lack of repeated measures, little evaluation of the effects of feedback on observable behavior (e.g., free-pour), and aggregate data. The current study used a single-case design with repeated measures to examine the effects of feedback on individual college students' self-reports and free-pours. Mean values overestimated the accuracy of definitions and free-pours prior to feedback, a finding that has implications for interpreting alcohol research. Feedback improved free-pour accuracy of standard servings of 5% ABV beer (12 oz), although generalization to higher ABV beer did not occur.
