Predictors and Trajectories of Negative and Positive Interpersonal Dynamics in Remission From Alcohol Use Disorder.
Article in Alcohol, clinical & experimental research, 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
backgroundResearch has established social networks as a critical determinant of recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD), yet limited research exists investigating quality of interpersonal dynamics, especially during the transition to remission from AUD. Positive interpersonal dynamics (friendship and emotional support) may reinforce recovery, whereas negative interpersonal dynamics (hostility and rejection) may undermine it. Identifying determinants of interpersonal dynamic trajectories, including remission, may guide the development of personalized interventions.
methodNaturalistic prospective study of individuals with moderate-severe AUD initiating a new recovery attempt (N = 501, M
resultsNegative interpersonal dynamics declined at the first follow-up and flattened over the remainder of the year. These results differed by remission status, with the greatest reduction in negative interpersonal dynamics among those who achieved abstinent remission at 12-month follow-up. Positive interpersonal dynamics did not change significantly throughout the study period. In covariate models, baseline recovery capital predicted positive and negative interpersonal dynamic intercepts and slopes, and there were differences in significant predictors across remission groups.
conclusionsAmong those achieving AUD remission (abstinent or non-abstinent) at 12 months, early recovery is marked by reductions in negative interpersonal dynamics, in contrast to those who do not achieve remission. Regardless of outcome, little change was observed in positive interpersonal dynamics. The predictive utility of recovery capital highlights a modifiable outcome that could help improve the quality of interpersonal dynamics in recovery, although confirmation of this relationship is warranted.
