Profiles of impulsivity and alcohol use: Unveiling personality, cognitive traits, and DSM diagnoses.
Article in Alcohol, clinical & experimental research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundImpulsivity is closely associated with alcohol use, but limited research has explored distinct latent profiles encompassing impulsivity traits and alcohol use disorder symptoms.
methodsThis study used latent profile analysis (LPA) to investigate these patterns among 201 adult outpatients (50% female, 50% male) from a tertiary care setting. Participants completed self-reported measures such as the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), Impaired Control Scale, and UPPS-P Impulsivity Scale, as well as performance-based tasks like the Probability Reward Task (PRT) and Stop Signal Reaction Time Task.
resultsLPA identified three profiles using AUDIT, impaired control, and UPPS-P: (1) Low-Risk Profile-characterized by low levels of alcohol use disorder (AUD) symptoms and impulsivity; (2) Emotionally Reactive Profile-characterized by elevated impulsivity with low AUD symptoms; and (3) High-Risk Profile-characterized by elevated levels of both AUD symptoms and impulsivity. ANCOVA results revealed that Emotionally Reactive individuals scored higher on neuroticism, negative affectivity, and psychoticism and lower on conscientiousness compared to the Low-Risk group. Both Emotionally Reactive and High-Risk groups showed lower agreeableness, antagonism, and disinhibition relative to the Low-Risk group. On cognitive tasks, the Low-Risk group outperformed the High-Risk group in PRT accuracy and discriminability, while Emotionally Reactive and Low-Risk groups showed similar advantages over High Risk.
conclusionsThese findings reveal distinct personality and cognitive profiles linked to reward and control processes, informing tailored interventions for impulsivity and alcohol-related harms.
