Global trends in the burden of alcohol use disorders in the working-age population from 1990 to 2021 and projections for the next 20 years.

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: Alcohol use disorders (AUD) have long been among the most disabling mental disorders and a leading cause of health loss. However, data on the burden and trends of these disorders among the working-age population are scarce. Methods: This study aimed to assess trends in the burden of AUD among people aged 15-64 years from 1990 to 2021 at the global, regional and national levels and to project future trends. Based on the trend analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD2021), we report age-standardized data and estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) for the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of AUD in the working-age population at the global, regional, and national levels and analyze global trends by age, sex, and social development index (SDI). Furthermore, critical inflection points and local trends Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC) were further explored via joinpoint regression analysis, and the burden of AUD was predicted via the Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model. Results: Globally, the incidence number of AUD cases among people aged 15-64 years in 2021 was estimated to be 51340.37 × 10 Discussion: Despite the decline in AUD among the working population over the past 30 years, significant differences remain between genders,regions and ages, and these differences continue to have important public health consequences. In the face of diverse interests and the reality of global health inequalities, strategies to prevent and reduce the burden of disease still require sustained efforts. Over the past 30 years, AUD have seen a notable decline. The passage of the 2022-2030 Global Alcohol Action Plan marks a pivotal moment in global policy formulation. Despite the various interests and the reality of global health inequalities, these disparities continue to yield significant public health consequences. Efforts to minimize the health losses caused by alcohol consumption and prioritize interventions targeting labor populations are particularly important.
