Delineating trajectories of alcohol consumption and alcohol problems from adolescence to young adulthood: An integrated assessment of genetic, familial, and psychosocial factors.

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
backgroundFew studies have jointly assessed the relationships of genetic, environmental, and psychosocial factors with the trajectory of alcohol consumption and alcohol problems over time. In this study, we estimate relationships between a host of predictors (measured before age 16 years) and the trajectories of alcohol consumption and alcohol problems measured at five different time points, spanning from mid-adolescence (16 years) to early adulthood (23 years) using data from a large population-based birth cohort from the United Kingdom (UK).
methodsThe Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was used to assess alcohol consumption and problematic drinking at approximately ages 16, 18, 19, 21, and 23 years among participants of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). Predictors (measured before age 16) included polygenic risk scores derived based on results from the UK Biobank, family history of drinking problems, parental monitoring, indicators of internalizing and externalizing problems, smoking, and personality measures. Latent growth models were used for analysis.
resultsResults from growth models showed that most variables, including polygenic risk scores, were associated with the initial stage (i.e., the intercept), while a few variables were associated with the rate of change (i.e., slopes), such as being a female, family history of alcohol problems, and peer group deviance.
conclusionsFindings from this study indicate that genetic, familial, and personality traits related to externalization were associated with the initial level of drinking or drinking-related problems, whereas fewer variables were associated with the change in drinking or drinking-related problems over time. These findings suggest that these variables can be used to identify high-risk individuals for drinking problems early on, and it is necessary to consider age or developmental stage in alcohol research.
