'I am a Drinker': A Content, Correlational, and Factor Analytic Study of Measures of Drinker Identity Among College Students.
Article in Substance use & misuse, 2025. 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
ABSTRACT Background: Drinker identity research has proliferated over the last decade, resulting in 10 self-report questionnaire measures of this construct. However, it is unknown to what extent these measures accurately reflect the theorized multi-dimensional conceptualization of drinker identity.
objectivesThe current study set out to investigate and compare these different measures using content, correlational, and factor analyses. A content analysis is conducted to investigate dimensions captured within the 10 measures of drinker identity. Correlational and exploratory factor analyses on the items is conducted within a young adult sample (
resultsAcross the 10 measures, seven distinct factors were identified by the content analysis, and multi-dimensionality was confirmed by both the correlational and factor analyses. Factor analysis on all items yielded four interpretable factors representing generalized identity, relative identity importance, identity value/affect, and social identification.
conclusionsThe results are discussed in terms of the multi-dimensional nature of drinker identity, the psychometric equivalence of the included measures, and further issues in defining and measuring drinker identity.
