Behavioral economics indices predict alcohol use and consequences in young men at 4-year follow-up.
Article in Addiction (Abingdon, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThe alcohol purchase task (APT), which presents a scenario and asks participants how many drinks they would purchase and consume at different prices, generates indices of alcohol reward value that have shown robust associations with alcohol-related outcomes in numerous studies. The aim was to test its prospective validity at 4-year follow-up.
designProspective cohort study.
settingGeneral population sample of young Swiss men.
participantsA total of 4594 Swiss young men (median age = 21, 25th - 75th quartiles = 20.5 - 21.5) completed baseline questionnaires; among those, 4214 (91.7%) were successfully followed-up 4 years later. MEASUREMENTS: Alcohol reward value parameters (i.e. intensity, the planned consumption when drinks are free; breakpoint, the price at which consumption would be suppressed; O
findingsRegression analyses, adjusting for the baseline alcohol measure, age, linguistic region and socio-economic indicators showed that intensity, breakpoint, O
conclusionsThe alcohol purchase task demand curve measures of alcohol reward value are useful in characterizing alcohol-related risk in young men and have long-term predictive utility.
