Associations Between Social Context and Mood During Alcohol Consumption in Young Adult Smokers.
Observational study in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveDifferences in the subjective effects of alcohol in different social contexts have been well documented, but little research examines affect during drinking in real-world social contexts. This study examined differences by social context in negative affect and positive affect during alcohol consumption. We hypothesized that negative affect and positive affect with drinking would vary as a function of social context (alone or with others).
methodA total of 257 young adults (
resultsPositive affect was higher when drinking with others versus alone, and negative affect was higher when drinking alone versus with others. Both negative affect and positive affect variability were higher when participants were drinking alone compared to with others, and negative affect variability was higher at low amounts of alcohol but decreased with increased drinking.
conclusionsThese findings demonstrate that solitary drinking is less consistently reinforcing because of greater and more variable negative affect, as well as more variable positive affect. When drinking with others, increased and less variable positive affect suggests that social drinking may be particularly reinforcing in young adulthood.
