Slower rates of learning to inhibit behavior in alcohol use disorder.

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
objectiveAlcohol use disorder (AUD) is associated with passive avoidance learning (PAL) deficits. This study investigated PAL deficits in AUD by using a novel growth model approach to quantify patterns of PAL as changes in false alarms over time, rather than the typical index of total false alarms in a PAL task.
methodSubjects, 112 (58 men; 54 women) with an AUD and 110 controls (44 men; 66 women), were administered a monetary incentive Go/No-Go task. Subjects could win $0.25 for a hit (response after a GO) or lose $0.25 for a false alarm.
resultsPAL rate was quantified as the slope of initial learning phase (across the first 5 blocks) on the Go/No-Go task. The PAL curves indicated rapid learning in first 5 blocks followed by a later slower learning across blocks 6-9 (consolidation phase). A piecewise growth model with random intercepts indicated that AUD status was significantly associated with a slower initial PAL (i.e. learning phase), with B = -0.69, p < 0.001 for the control group and a PAL slope of 0.13 higher for the AUD group indicating a slower learning rate in the AUD group. This effect was not observed in the consolidation phase.
conclusionsThe results suggest that those with an AUD have greater difficulty learning to avoid negative consequences compared with controls. The results also suggest that measuring PAL rate by focusing on the rate of learning early in the task may be a better index of PAL learning than simply looking at overall false alarm rate.
