Estimating the differential exposure of household groups to alcohol duty reforms in Great Britain.
Article in Journal of public health (Oxford, England), 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
backgroundWe explored the potential impact of changes to the UK alcohol tax system implemented in August 2023 on increases on consumer spending, the separate impacts of the changes to the duty structures, and how these impacts vary between households depending on their level of alcohol purchasing and their socioeconomic position.
methodsWe used household-level purchasing data from Kantar's Worldpanel to analyse four alternative scenarios, reflecting the three separate components of the duty reforms (the changes to the duty structures, the temporary wine easement, and the additional 10.1% increase in duty rates).
resultsIn the 12 months prior to the implementation of the reforms, the average household spend on off-trade alcohol in Kantar's Worldpanel was £324.37 (August 2022-July 2023). This average conceals a heavily skewed distribution, with the lowest-purchasing 20% of households spending an average of £20.47 per year compared to £1206.68 for the highest-purchasing quintile. On average, households in higher socioeconomic position spend more on alcohol than those in lower socioeconomic positions-£339.19 compared to £302.37.
conclusionOur results provide support for the structural reforms to alcohol duty introduced in the UK being effectively targeted at the heaviest alcohol purchasers, with no evidence to suggest that they are likely to increase economic inequalities.
