Associations between energy drink consumption and Big Five personality traits among Japanese adults.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis study examined the associations between energy drink consumption and personality traits using the Big Five personality model and sensation seeking in a Japanese adult sample. Energy drink consumption has been linked to health problems and risk behaviors. The aim of this study was to identify the personality characteristics of energy drink consumers to provide insights for preventing excessive or harmful consumption.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey. Participants completed measures of the Big Five personality traits, sensation seeking, and the frequency of energy drink consumption. A total of 789 Japanese adults (397 women and 392 men; age range: 20-59 years) were analyzed.
resultsOrdinal logistic regression analyses revealed a positive association between energy drink consumption and Extraversion. This association was attenuated after adjusting for sensation-seeking facets. This pattern of association was observed even after adjusting for other beverage consumption.
conclusionsThese findings suggested that the Big Five framework can be used to identify the personality characteristics of energy drink consumers. In particular, individuals with a high need for stimulation-a facet of Extraversion-were more likely to consume energy drinks. These findings may inform public health strategies addressing the potential risks associated with energy drink consumption.
