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
objectiveA defining characteristic of alcohol use disorders is the loss of control over drinking. Although this loss is associated with reduced self-control, the relationship is supported by limited research conducted in real-world contexts, and existing studies have certain limitations and produce inconsistent findings. Given these gaps, our study investigated whether perceived demands on self-control could predict a subsequent loss of control over drinking (i.e., drinking more than planned) in the daily lives of young adults. Additionally, we examined whether peer exposure and negative urgency act as moderators in this relationship, and explored other aspects of trait impulsivity as moderators.
methodWe observed 496 participants (45% female, 54% White, non-Hispanic, ages 18-22;
resultsWithin individuals, predrinking perceived self-control demands did not predict the degree of deviation from planned alcohol consumption. Additionally, neither peer exposure nor negative urgency moderated this relationship.
conclusionsUtilizing a substantial sample size and rigorous methodology, this study demonstrates that predrinking self-control demands over moods and thoughts do not predict drinking more than intended. Moreover, neither peer exposure nor negative urgency moderate this relationship. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
