Menstrual cycle phase, alcohol consumption, alcohol cravings, and mood among women in outpatient treatment for alcohol use disorder.
Article in Psychology of addictive behaviors : journal of the Society of Psychologists in Addictive Behaviors, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Research shows fluctuations in drinking across the menstrual cycle among women with alcohol use disorder (AUD), but little work has investigated moderators of these fluctuations. This study examined drinking and craving intensity across the menstrual cycle, and the moderating effect of baseline depression and emotional distress during the midlate luteal phase and/or menses, among women receiving AUD treatment. Fifty-nine regularly cycling women reported menstrual history and baseline depression. Over 3 months of treatment, they kept daily logs of drinks, alcohol cravings, and menstruation (yes/no). Emotional distress during the midlate luteal phase and/or menses of their most recent menstrual cycle was also assessed during treatment. Menstrual cycle phase was estimated for each within-treatment day. Mixed model analyses tested main and interactive effects of menstrual cycle phase, baseline depression, and emotional distress during the midlate luteal phase and/or menses on daily drinks and craving intensity. Women drank most during the midlate luteal phase and menses compared with other phases. Among women with lower baseline depression, those with lower distress during the midlate luteal phase and/or menses reported more intense cravings during the midlate luteal phase (ΔM = .77,
