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

objectiveIndividuals high in trait impulsivity are more likely to engage in risky behaviors following alcohol consumption, one of the most dangerous of which being alcohol-impaired driving (AID). While some work has shown specific facets of trait impulsivity are differentially related to AID risk, little is known about the mechanisms by which these impulsive facets influence decision making about driving while impaired by alcohol. This study tested the association between multifaceted impulsivity constructs and AID risk perceptions while under intoxication.

methodIn a laboratory alcohol administration study, 78 young adult (55% female,

resultsUnder intoxication, individuals higher in urgency (negative and positive) and lack of premeditation rated AID as less dangerous and individuals higher in urgency were more likely to report willingness to engage in AID.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that distinct impulsivity facets, particularly urgency, impact risk perceptions while impaired by alcohol. More research is needed to understand how these altered risk perceptions relate to engagement in actual risk behavior in real-world environments.
