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

backgroundSubstance abuse among adolescents and young people is a growing public health concern, with significant implications for both individuals and society. This study sought to investigate the Perceptions, Perspectives, and Practices (3Ps) related to substance use, as well as explore contextual factors influencing drug and alcohol engagement among youth in the Dehradun district of Uttarakhand, India. MATERIALS AND

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in semi-urban and rural areas of Dehradun, screening 14,203 participants aged 10-24 years through multistage stratified random sampling. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires, which included the standardized and locally-adapted CRAFT and ASSIST screening instruments.

resultsAmong the 3290 participants with complete socio-demographic data, 77.0% of males and 41.5% of females reported a family history of drug abuse (

conclusionThese findings emphasize the need for targeted educational interventions-particularly about long-term consequences-and for strengthening protective factors in families and peer groups. Systematic, context-aware prevention strategies are essential to reduce substance abuse and its health and social impact among young people in India.
