1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We examined the associations between individual differences in intensive longitudinal data-derived affective dynamics (i.e., positive and negative affect variability and inertia and positive affect-negative affect bipolarity) and concurrent stress, drinking levels, and affect-regulation drinking motives across three time points spanning early adulthood. This allowed us to evaluate the stability of the affective dynamics and whether their associations with alcohol outcomes varied across this critical developmental period. Moderate-to-heavy college drinkers (N = 1139, 51% women) reported on their affective states, stress, drinking levels, and drinking motives daily for 30 days using a web-based daily diary in three assessment waves: during college and at two post-college waves, approximately 5 and 10 years after the initial assessment. Findings indicated moderate stability of the affect dynamic indicators, except for inertia. Negative affect variability showed the strongest positive association with mean daily stress. Individuals who demonstrated stronger affect bipolarity had lower drinking levels and higher enhancement motivation. None of the other dynamic indicators were consistently related to the drinking outcomes in the predicted direction after controlling for mean affect levels, and we found little evidence for changes in these effects across time. Our results add to the inconsistent literature regarding the associations between affective dynamics and alcohol-related outcomes.
