Manifestation of Drinking Profiles in Daily Life: Associations With Momentary Negative Affect, Impulsivity, and Drinking.
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
backgroundNegative affect and impulsivity can influence one another and have momentary influences on emerging adult drinking behaviors. Heterogeneity in drinking patterns/profiles, such as frequent heavy or light drinking, may also reflect differences in these momentary effects potentially due to distinct putative drinking mechanisms.
methodsEmerging adults (N = 366; 64.4% women) with at least one binge drinking episode in the past 30 days completed a baseline survey and 14-day ecological momentary assessments (EMA) with multiple daily surveys (n ≥ 7; M = 5.33). Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to identify alcohol use patterns from baseline surveys. Next, multilevel models examined negative affectivity and impulsivity on momentary drinking and the number of drinks consumed using the full sample and the LPA drinking profiles.
resultsLPA identified three drinking profiles: (1) low binge drinkers; (2) moderate binge drinkers; and (3) heavy binge drinkers. Multilevel models revealed that for the full sample and among low and moderate binge drinkers, negative affect significantly predicted lower chances of drinking in the moment, while the impulsivity facets of urgency and sensation-seeking predicted greater chances of momentary drinking. Urgency and sensation-seeking also served as significant mediators that suppressed the negative association from negative affect on momentary drinking. For the heavy binge drinkers, only negative affect significantly predicted lower chances of drinking in the moment. Similar effects were observed for momentary drink number models.
conclusionsIdentifying latent alcohol use profiles and targeting approaches to reduce momentary impulsivity via approaches such as just-in-time adaptive intervention may provide prevention opportunities for low and moderate binge drinkers at risk for developing more severe alcohol use problems and disorders. For those who may be in the early stages of developing alcohol use disorders (i.e., the heavy binge drinking sample), alternative intervention approaches utilizing motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy for alcohol use may be more appropriate.
