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
introductionThe degrees of subjective intoxication (SI) and vigilance impairment following alcohol consumption vary among individuals. This variability may reflect both metabolic enzyme genotypes and drinking behavior. The purpose of this study was to examine the integrated associations among alcohol-metabolizing enzyme genotypes, drinking tendency, and acute alcohol-induced changes in breath alcohol concentration (BrAC), SI, and vigilance performance.
methodsAlcohol (0.5 g/kg body weight) was orally administered to 93 healthy adults. BrAC, SI, and the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) were measured at multiple time points between 0 and 100 min. Repeated-measures ANOVA was performed with time as the within-subject factor and alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (ADH1B) and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) genotypes as between-subject factors. Additionally, using structural equation modeling (SEM), we examined how BrAC, SI, and PVT lapse rates were jointly related to genotypes and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C) score.
resultsFor BrAC and SI, a significant ALDH2 × time interaction was observed. ALDH2*1/*1 participants had lower BrAC than ALDH2*1/*2 participants. Regarding PVT performance, the main effect of time was observed, but no significant main effects or interactions involving genotypes were found. Additionally, results from SEM showed that, in the 40-min model, BrAC positively predicted SI and lapse rate, and AUDIT-C negatively predicted SI but not lapse rate. ALDH2 genotype positively predicted AUDIT-C and negatively predicted BrAC; ALDH2 genotype also showed a significant direct negative path to SI but not on lapse rate. In the 100-min model, BrAC positively predicted SI but not lapse rate, and AUDIT-C negatively predicted SI but not lapse rate.
conclusionALDH2 genotype contributed to variability in BrAC and SI but not PVT performance. In the 40-min SEM model, higher AUDIT-C predicted lower SI despite no association with BrAC or PVT lapse rate. This pattern suggests a discrepancy between self-reported intoxication and PVT performance. These findings may inform risk communication and intervention strategies to reduce alcohol-related accidents and improve health education.
