Regularly drinking alcohol before sex in the United States: effects of relationship status and alcohol use disorders.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundDrinking alcohol before sex increases the likelihood of engaging in sexual risk behaviors and risk for HIV infection. Relationship status (single versus partnered) and alcohol use disorders (AUD) are associated with each other and sexual risk behaviors, yet have not been examined as predictors of drinking alcohol before sex, using national data. This study examined whether relationship status and AUD increased the likelihood of regularly drinking alcohol before sex in a nationally representative sample.
methodsThe main and additive interaction effects of relationship status and AUD on regularly drinking alcohol before sex were analyzed among sexually active drinkers (N=17,491) from Wave 2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC). Regularly drinking alcohol before sex was defined as drinking alcohol most or all of the time before sex.
resultsAfter adjustment for controls, relationship status (AOR=3.51; CI=2.59-4.75) and AUD (AOR=6.24; CI=5.16-7.53) increased the likelihood of regularly drinking alcohol before sex and interacted to differentially increase this risk, with the effect of being single on the likelihood of regularly drinking alcohol before sex increased among participants with AUD (p<.001).
conclusionsThis study reinforces the importance of relationship status and AUD to the risk for regularly drinking alcohol before sex. Public health efforts should target alcohol and HIV prevention messages to single adults, particularly those with AUD, highlighting their risk for regularly drinking alcohol before sex.
