Social Drinking and Addiction: A Social-Cognitive Model for Understanding Alcohol Use Disorder Risk.
Article in Current directions in psychological science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Scientists have long focused on intrapersonal factors and solitary drinking settings in researching addiction etiology. Yet evidence has accumulated to indicate a key role for social contexts in alcohol use disorder development. Here we review four core characteristics of social drinking contexts relevant for the understanding of disordered drinking, including prevalence, developmental timing, negative consequences, and reward value. We present a social-cognitive model aimed at elucidating reinforcement from alcohol in social context, proposing a role for alcohol in inhibiting higher-order cognitive processes that otherwise dampen the experience of social reward. Finally, we review a series of empirical studies providing evidence for the role of social context in alcohol use disorder development, highlighting methodological challenges and indicating directions for future research.
