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
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the incidence and characteristics of alcohol-related emergency department (ED) visits in young adults compared with older age groups. Methods: A retrospective electronic health record study of patients aged ≥18 years with an alcohol-related ED visit, including acute alcohol intoxication (AAI) and alcohol-related injuries, was conducted at Reinier de Graaf Gasthuis (RdGG) from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2024. Young adults (18 to 24 years) were compared with older age groups (25 to 39, 40 to 54, 55 to 69, >70 years) regarding visit type, blood alcohol concentration (BAC), diagnostic tests, and hospital admission. Within young adults, student status and peak visit times were analyzed. Results: Of 49,226 ED visits, 888 (1.8%) were alcohol-related, including 192 (21.6%) young adults, of whom 40% were students. Men were more frequently admitted with alcohol-related injuries (36.4% vs 25.4%), women for AAI (67.8% vs 47.3%, Conclusion: Young adults account for the highest incidence of alcohol-related ED visits. Students exhibit higher BACs than nonstudents. These findings underscore the critical need to reduce alcohol-related harm and promote safe drinking habits among young adults especially during specific periods.
