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

backgroundOral alcohol administration studies often show a range of breath alcohol content (BrAC) following alcohol ingestion, though examination of BrAC trajectories as distinct profiles has yet to be explored as well as potential predictors of these profiles.

methodsAcross two laboratory studies of oral alcohol administration with target blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) of 0.08% (N = 89) and 0.10% (N = 92) of emerging adults (M

resultsA three-profile solution was replicated across the 0.08% and 0.10% BAC emerging adult samples, consisting of (1) high-fast risers (10%-16%) where individuals reach higher than anticipated BrAC and maintain high levels across the study period, (2) moderate risers (35%-42%) who reach target BrAC levels and show expected rise and fall in BrAC, and (3) low-slow risers (46%-47%) who remain under target BrAC and show consistent low levels of BrAC across the study period. Body mass index, total body water, and response to alcohol assisted in predicting individual membership in the 0.10% BrAC study and can aid in differentiating profiles.

conclusionBrAC profiles for emerging adult samples may follow a three-profile structure during lab-based oral alcohol administration. One's physical characteristics and response to alcohol may play a key role in differentiating BAC profiles and should be examined in the lab and natural environment.
