Daily-Level Drinking Motives as Predictors of Transdermal Alcohol Concentration and Alcohol-Induced Blackouts Among Young Adults.

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
backgroundAlcohol use is necessary-but not sufficient-for understanding why individuals experience an alcohol-induced blackout (AIB). Drinking motives are one of the most proximal risk factors for alcohol use. This study conducts a comprehensive within-person examination of AIBs predicted by prospective daily reports of drinking motives and alcohol use measured using a transdermal alcohol concentration (TAC) biosensor.
methodsParticipants were young adults who engaged in risky drinking and experienced at least 1 AIB in the past 3-months (N = 169, M
resultsIn Aim 1, on days when participants reported higher enhancement, social, coping, and conformity motives, the associated increase in TAC intoxication was associated with increased odds of experiencing an AIB. In Aim 2, when all motives were entered into a single model, only social motives resulted in increased TAC, which subsequently increased the odds of an AIB occurring.
conclusionsFindings demonstrate that days when an individual reports above average drinking motives relative to their own average, they are at increased risk of engaging in riskier drinking, which may result in subsequent AIBs. These findings suggest that daily changes in drinking motives may be an important intervention pathway for preventing risky drinking and subsequent AIBs.
