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

This study sought to determine the level of concordance between self-reported alcohol use and the presence of its urinary ethyl glucuronide (EtG) metabolite in women living in urban Kampala. In 2023, we recruited 300 young women, ages 18 to 24 years, to participate in a prospective cohort study across three sites in urban Kampala (i.e., Banda, Bwaise, and Makindye) to examine the mechanistic pathways of mental illness. As part of the baseline assessment, participants were asked to complete a research assistant-administered survey and to provide a urine sample to screen for 16 different substances and/or their metabolites, including EtG. Overall, 58% (n = 174) reported to have ever consumed alcohol and 23% (n = 68) to have used it in the past month. Among the 300 women, 10% (n = 30) had EtG levels in their urine sample and of these, 40% (n = 12) reported to have never consumed alcohol, using a self-reported survey (
