The Relationship Between Alcohol Availability and Drink-Driving Policies and Admissions to Substance Use Disorder Treatment During Pregnancy.
Article in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivePregnancy-specific alcohol policies are widely adopted yet have limited effectiveness and established risks. It is unknown whether general population alcohol policies are effective during pregnancy. This study investigated associations between general population policies and alcohol treatment admission rates for pregnant people specifically.
methodData are from the Treatment Episodes Data Set-Admissions and state-level policy data for 1992-2019 (
resultsIn models with alcohol as the primary substance, prohibiting spirits sales in grocery stores (vs. allowing heavy beer [>3.2% alcohol by volume] and spirits) had lower treatment admission rates (incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 0.88, 95% CI [0.78, 0.99],
conclusionsRestrictions on grocery store spirits sales and BAC laws were associated with lower and higher alcohol treatment admission rates among pregnant people, respectively, suggesting that general population alcohol policies are relevant for pregnant people's treatment utilization.
