Age and Sex Differences in Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome.
Article in Mayo Clinic proceedings. Innovations, quality & outcomes, 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
Objective: To investigate alcohol withdrawal syndrome prevalence among women and to study age and sex differences in clinical manifestations and hospital course. Patients and Methods: This cohort study included all hospitalized patients from June 1, 2019 to June 1, 2022, where the Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol Scale, revised, protocol for alcohol withdrawal syndrome was implemented. Results: A total of 16,190 hospitalizations (10,092 patients aged ≥21 years), with 30.2% women, were included in the study and divided into the following 4 age groups: 21 to 39 years (n=2453 [24.3%]), 40-64 years (n=5128 [50.8%]), 65-74 years (n=1705 [16.9%]), and 75 years or older (n=806 [8%]). We considered the age group (40-64 years) with the highest number of patients as the reference group. Older patients presented with lower blood alcohol concentration and took longer to reach peak withdrawal manifestations than younger patients. Compared with women, men in the youngest age group reached a peak withdrawal earlier (mean, 18.5 hours [95% CI, 17.2-19.8] vs 19.4 hours [95% CI, 17.5-21.3]; P<.001), and there was no sex difference in other age groups. Men required higher benzodiazepine doses during hospitalization in the youngest (mean, 20.1 mg [95% CI, 17.1-23.1] vs 13.6 mg [95% CI, 11.4-15.8]; Conclusion: The results of this study show a narrowing of the traditional sex gap in alcohol withdrawal.
