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

This article explores the impact of gender roles on the development, course, and treatment of alcohol use disorders. Epidemiological data reveal significant gender differences in prevalence, patterns of use, and comorbidities related to alcohol dependence. These differences are not solely biologically determined but also reflect the social construction of gender and culturally specific role expectations. Traditional masculinity norms are associated with increased alcohol consumption, reduced help-seeking behavior, and greater propensity for violence, while women are more likely to experience internalizing mental illnes and societal stigma. LGBTIQ* individuals are particularly vulnerable due to minority stress and structural barriers. This article advocates for gender-sensitive addiction care that addresses psychosocial stressors, trauma, and systemic inequalities. It emphasizes the need to critically examine rigid gender roles, which may exacerbate problems and hinder effective treatment.
