Validation of the brief Biphasic Alcohol Effects Scale (B-BAES).
Trial report in Alcoholism, clinical and experimental research, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04707989 (A Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Study to Evaluate the Tolerance and Safety of a Ketone- Promoting Food Ingredient in Healthy Men and Women), which is not on this map. Cited by 34 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe Biphasic Alcohol Effects Scale (BAES) is a reliable and valid 14-item measure of alcohol's acute stimulant and sedative effects, but its length may preclude use in research paradigms with time constraints on assessment. Here, we report further psychometric support for the 6-item Brief BAES (B-BAES) originally developed by our group in 2009.
methodsTwo studies are included: the first study tested the B-BAES in an independent sample of young adult heavy social drinkers administered 0.8 g/kg alcohol in a laboratory challenge study (N = 104) to confirm the reliability and validity of the 6-item B-BAES. The second study compared the predictive validity of the B-BAES versus the BAES in a separate sample of 104 heavy drinkers who took part in a prospective laboratory alcohol challenge and follow-up study of drinking behaviors.
resultsAn item analysis demonstrated strong support across several intervals on the breath alcohol curve for the same 6 B-BAES items (energized, excited, up, sedated, slow thoughts, sluggish). Confirmatory factor analysis with the B-BAES demonstrated strong support for the same underlying structure as with the full BAES, and tests of internal consistency reliability were very strong to excellent. B-BAES subscale scores correlated highly with corresponding scores of the BAES and predicted binge-drinking frequency during a 2-year follow-up.
conclusionsThese results provide strong psychometric support to confirm use of the B-BAES in studies assessing alcohol's stimulant and sedative properties. The B-BAES may be a useful new tool to enhance the scope of future research assessing alcohol's biphasic effects, particularly in paradigms when time and concise measurement are priorities.
