Reduced Sensitivity to Negative Feedback May Lead to Risky Decision-Making in Amphetamine Users.
Article in Addiction biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In Taiwan, amphetamines are the main drug of abuse. While drug abuse is often related to individual risky decision-making, how this relates to underlying neural mechanisms in amphetamine abusers remains unclear. The current study was carried out to help better understand this. A Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) was used to examine individual risky decision-making in conjunction with event-related potential (ERP) recording and presentation of questionnaires relating to behavioural control. Compared with healthy controls, amphetamine users had a lower score on the Behavioural Inhibition System (BIS) scale and showed reduced amplitudes in feedback-related negativity (FRN) and error-related negativity (ERN) ERP components following negative feedback on the task. Amphetamine users were less sensitive to punitive or aversive stimuli. This reduced sensitivity might lead to a higher tendency for risky decision-making, with them less able to learn from mistakes and thus repeatedly engage in risky behaviours.
