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

objectivePosttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms and problematic alcohol use (e.g., binge drinking and alcohol-related problems; ARP) commonly co-occur following stressors and traumatic events. Ecological momentary assessment methods can clarify the functional relationships between these conditions.

methodsTwenty-five trauma-exposed combat veterans with pre-pandemic heavy drinking histories completed three daily smartphone surveys for four weeks, assessing binge drinking, ARP, PTS symptoms, and positive and negative affect. Within-person multi-level models assessed PTS and alcohol relationships, covarying for affect and demographics.

resultsWithin-person variation in PTS was inversely associated with binge drinking but not associated with ARP after adjustment for interindividual heterogeneity. Within-person variation in ARP was not associated with PTS after adjustment for interindividual heterogeneity. The covariate of negative affect was positively associated with ARP and PTS.

conclusionsFindings suggest negative affect, rather than PTS, has the strongest association with variation in ARP symptoms in this at-risk sample. There was also evidence of individual differences in the strength and direction of effects.
