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

objectiveAlcohol consumption is widely recognized for its complex effects on social behavior, simultaneously fostering social connections in some individuals while heightening aggression in others. However, the underlying mechanisms for this effect, including emotion recognition, remain disputed among researchers. This study examined how alcohol influences the accuracy of emotion recognition, with particular attention to sex differences.

methodIndividuals who regularly consume alcohol (

resultsAlcohol consumption significantly reduced overall emotion-recognition accuracy,

conclusionsOur findings indicate that alcohol impairs the ability to interpret emotional expressions, with potential implications for impaired social interactions and heightened aggression. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
