Executive Dysfunction in Patients With Alcohol Use Disorder: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
A medical condition known as alcohol use disorder (AUD) is defined as an impaired capacity to reduce or regulate alcohol consumption despite negative social, occupational, or health effects. According to studies, habitual drinkers experience a reduction in their capacity to process new information, gain new skills, and formulate plans. Studies indexed in PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and ScienceDirect, published from 2012 to 2022, were identified through the search terms "alcohol use disorder" and "executive function." A total of 2242 abstracts were identified through the initial search terms. Full texts were reviewed for 61 articles, out of which nine articles met the criteria for inclusion. This systematic review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The current systematic review primarily focuses on the following issues: clinical neuropsychological tests of executive dysfunction, specific brain regions most affected by alcohol neurotoxic effects, and alcohol-related dementia. This review concluded that chronic alcohol dependence syndrome causes impairments in several cognitive function domains. Study shows frontal lobe damage is caused by chronic alcohol consumption. A faulty interaction among large-scale networks underlies patients' executive dysfunction in AUD, which is suggested by changes in prefrontal white-matter pathways. The goal of this systematic review is to improve the ability to recognize alcoholics who are particularly at risk of functional impairments to tailor therapeutic therapy to maximize the chance of maintaining abstinence and neuropsychology concerning this complex disease.
