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

Alcohol access through curbside and home delivery has become a growing phenomenon in the post-COVID pandemic era. Regulations vary by state, but studies have suggested that adult access indicates higher substance use and consequences. Overall, research is lacking for adolescents. Using data from a statewide survey (n = 26,485), youth who used curbside/home delivery and those who did not were compared on past 30-day use, binge drinking, higher frequency use, and alcohol-related consequences. Because youth utilizing curbside/home delivery (CHD) was reported by only a small proportion of youth (~ 5%), propensity score matching was used to balance group sizes and demographic characteristics. Logistic regression analyses indicated that the CHD group had significantly higher odds of past 30-day alcohol use, binge drinking, greater drinking frequency, and alcohol-related negative consequences compared with matched non-users. Accessing alcohol through curbside/home delivery may be an indicator of high-risk alcohol use in adolescents. Future research and targeted prevention efforts are needed in this area.
