Adolescent Risky Alcohol Use Is Associated With Electrophysiological Markers of Error Processing: Findings From a Large Cohort Study.

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
Background: Altered electrophysiological error processing, measured via the error-related negativity (ERN), error-related positivity (Pe), and midfrontal theta power (FM-theta), has been associated with problematic alcohol use and alcohol dependence in clinical populations. However, large-scale studies focusing on adolescent use in the general population are scarce. Moreover, the extent to which potential confounding factors shape the relationship between brain activity and alcohol use remains unclear. Methods: In the current study, we examined the relationship between adolescent alcohol use and electrophysiological markers of error processing (ERN, Pe, and FM-theta) in a large adolescent sample drawn from a population-based cohort ( Results: Linear regression analyses showed that smaller absolute ERN amplitude (indicating reduced implicit error processing) was associated with risk factors for alcohol use disorder, including early alcohol use initiation and higher binge drinking frequency. Surprisingly, higher binge drinking frequency was also associated with larger Pe amplitude. These findings remained present after adjustment for confounding variables and were not moderated by sex. Conclusions: These findings show an important link between prevalent alcohol use behaviors and altered electrophysiological markers of error processing, representing a promising step forward in using large-scale electroencephalography for brain-alcohol use research and its clinical implications.
