Inhibitory control in the sober state as a function of alcohol sensitivity: a pilot functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 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
Introduction: Lower sensitivity (LS) to acute alcohol promotes hazardous alcohol use, increasing risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD). Compared to peers with high sensitivity (HS), LS individuals exhibit amplified responses to alcohol cues and difficulty exerting inhibitory control (IC) over those cued responses. However, it is unclear whether LS and HS individuals differ in neural or behavioral responses when exerting IC over affectively neutral prepotent responses (i.e., domain-general IC). This fMRI pilot study examined domain-general IC and its neural correlates in young adult LS and HS individuals. Methods: Participants ( Results: Although IC performance (accuracy) was numerically lower for the LS group (M[SD] = 0.527[0.125]) compared to the HS group (M[SD] = 0.595[0.124]), no significant difference was detected [ Discussion: In sum, while LS and HS individuals demonstrated similar domain-general IC performance and recruited similar neural resources to perform IC, findings suggest that compensatory over-activation of frontocortical nodes of the fronto-cortico-striatal IC circuitry may be related to affective-motivational aspects of AUD symptomatology (craving in daily life) among LS individuals. Based on these preliminary findings, future studies with larger samples are warranted to determine the extent to which domain-general IC performance associated with fronto-cortico-striatal IC circuit activation contributes to the alcohol use pathophysiology, and whether therapeutic interventions (e.g., non-invasive brain stimulation) targeting fronto-cortico-striatal IC circuitry may decrease AUD symptomatology.
