Personality correlates of past-year alcohol use in individuals with severe alcohol use disorder and a lifetime history of involvement in Alcoholics Anonymous.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAlcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a highly impairing condition with important public health impacts. Despite the availability of treatment options for AUD, research shows that few people receive treatment, and even fewer can maintain abstinence/low drinking levels. This study investigated the role of personality traits in current alcohol use among individuals with severe AUD who ever attended Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), a widespread and easily accessible self-help group for alcohol problems.
methodsUnivariable and multivariable regressions were performed separately in females and males with alcohol consumption as an outcome. Socioeconomic factors, genetic liability, and psychopathology were included as covariates.
resultsResults from the multivariable model indicated that in females who attended AA, higher alcohol use was related to both positive and negative urgency as well as low sensation seeking, while in males, higher alcohol use was related to positive urgency. Results also indicated an important role of younger age and lower educational levels in higher alcohol use in both sexes. Moreover, single males and those with lower AUD severity were at higher risk of using alcohol in the past year.
conclusionsThese findings highlighted sex-specific correlates of drinking in individuals with AUD who engaged in self-help groups. Findings may be useful to improve treatment options, as personality encompasses modifiable traits that can be targeted in psychological interventions.
