1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Precision medicine has been advanced as a potential solution to the problem of alcohol use disorder heterogeneity and modest alcohol use disorder treatment efficacy. The success of precision medicine lies in our ability to first identify the etiologic and maintenance mechanisms at play for a given person and then choose the treatment that is most likely to address such mechanisms. There exist several frameworks that describe empirically supported substance use disorder (SUD) etiologic and maintenance mechanisms (e.g., the Etiologic, Theory-based, Ontogenetic, Hierarchical [ETOH] Framework). There also exists a large literature on mechanisms of behavior change in alcohol use disorder treatment. However, the mechanism of behavior change literature on alcohol use disorder treatments has focused broadly on mechanisms of change rather than more specifically on core alcohol use disorder etiologic and maintenance mechanisms. Thus, the two types of mechanisms have never been integrated or systematically evaluated for their overlap. As such, the aim of the present brief review is to demonstrate how commonly used alcohol use disorder treatments may overlap with and directly target certain alcohol use disorder etiologic and maintenance mechanisms (specifically those described by the ETOH framework). We delineate empirically plausible overlapping mechanisms and theoretically plausible overlapping mechanisms that warrant more research. Last, based on the identification of empirically and theoretically plausible overlapping mechanisms, we elaborate on how ongoing work related to alcohol use disorder precision medicine may test specific hypotheses regarding which treatments work best for whom.
