The association between family environment and underage drinking in Ireland.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMid-adolescence is a critical developmental stage for the onset of drunkenness and binge drinking. In the West of Ireland, 34.1% of adolescents reported binge drinking in the 2020 Planet Youth analysis [16], compared with 35.6% in the present 2022 study.
aimsTo estimate associations between family environment factors and underage drinking among 15-16-year-olds and to examine reported sources of alcohol access.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional secondary data analysis of Planet Youth 2022 Ireland survey (n = 4615) among 15-16 year olds. The study outcomes were binge drinking and being drunk in the last 30 days. Exposures were parental monitoring, supervision, support (continuous scales), and family structure. Continuous variables were expressed in median and interquartile ranges. Appropriate statistical tests (Mann-Whitney U test) were performed. Multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for potential confounders for effect estimates.
results28.7% reported being drunk in the last 30 days and 35.6% reported binge drinking. One standard deviation (SD) increase in parental monitoring was significantly associated with lower odds of binge drinking (OR = 0.66; 95%CI:0.57-0.76) and being drunk (OR = 0.68; 95%CI:0.58-0.80, p < 0.001). Similarly, one SD increase in parental support was associated with lower odds of binge drinking (OR = 0.80; 95%CI:0.72-0.90) and being drunk in the last 30 days (OR = 0.81; 95%CI:0.72-0.91) respectively. Parental supervision was not significant. The most common sources of alcohol products were friends/schoolmates, parents/carers, and pubs/shops.
conclusionsParental monitoring and support are protective of underage drinking. Peers, family members and retail shops were easy access to sourcing alcohol products among adolescents.
