Sexual Orientation Differences in Alcohol Use Disorder Across the Adult Life Course.
Article in American journal of preventive medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
introductionSexual orientation‒related disparities in alcohol use disorder are well-established. Yet, the degree to which sexual orientation differences in alcohol use disorder vary across the life course is poorly understood. There is also a limited understanding of how exposure to minority stressors and their relationship with alcohol use disorder vary as a function of age.
methodsUsing nationally representative data collected in 2012-2013, authors used sex-stratified time-varying effect models to estimate age-specific prevalence rates of alcohol use disorder among heterosexual and sexual minority adults aged 18-60 years (N=28,090). Among sexual minority adults (n=1,050), authors also assessed age-specific associations between exposure to lesbian, gay, and bisexual‒related discrimination and alcohol use disorder. Analyses were conducted in 2019.
resultsGay and bisexual male participants aged 18-45 years demonstrated the highest prevalence rates of alcohol use disorder (e.g., >45% at age 25 years), whereas lesbian, gay, and bisexual female participants were most likely to meet the criteria for alcohol use disorder between ages 45 and 55 years. Sexual minority adults who experienced discrimination in the past year had greater odds of alcohol use disorder between ages 23 and 34 years and again from ages 42 to 53 years; the association between discrimination and alcohol use disorder was strongest among sexual minority men.
conclusionsSexual orientation-related disparities in alcohol use disorder are dynamic across the life course and point to critical times for screening and intervention. Developmental perspectives of sexual minority health inequities demand focused research attention as findings will help to identify strategies for promoting sexual minority health at distinct points in the life course.
