Momentary subjective responses to alcohol as predictors of continuing to drink during daily-life drinking episodes.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeSubjective response to alcohol's stimulating and sedating effects is a person-level risk factor for heavy drinking and alcohol use disorder. Longitudinal and laboratory studies have demonstrated that at-risk individuals experience greater stimulation and lower sedation while drinking. While between-person subjective responses inform risk and etiology, in-the-moment assessments during daily-life drinking may elucidate the within-person processes by which stimulation and sedation may lead to heavier drinking. We aimed to characterize these momentary processes by testing momentary stimulation and sedation during drinking as predictors of subsequently continuing to drink during densely sampled, daily-life drinking episodes. PROCEDURES: 113 adults (54 with borderline personality disorder and 59 community participants; 77.9% female) completed ecological momentary assessment for 21 days, reporting momentary subjective stimulation and sedation throughout drinking episodes and momentary alcohol use after drink initiation (i.e., continued drinking).
findingsGLMMs demonstrated that greater day-level stimulation (OR=1.48, 95% CI=[1.20, 1.82], p<.001), greater person-level stimulation (OR=1.63, 95% CI=[1.05, 2.53], p=.031), and lower momentary sedation (OR=0.54, 95% CI=[0.41, 0.71], p<.001) predicted continued drinking.
conclusionsAlthough greater stimulation and lower sedation have been conceptualized as individual-level risk factors for heavy drinking, our findings suggest that these associations are accompanied by processes that operate within person. Our results suggest that greater stimulation may confer risk for heavy drinking at the level of the drinking episode, possibly acting as positive reinforcement that may contribute to heavier drinking during future episodes. In contrast, lower sedation may primarily confer in-the-moment risk by contributing to momentary decisions to keep drinking within an episode.
