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

Alcohol-related cues are thought to contribute to drinking in alcohol use disorder (AUD), but their contribution in daily life remains difficult to separate from changing social contexts and internal states. We used ecological momentary assessment in two independent cohorts of non-treatment-seeking individuals, comprising a discovery cohort with AUD (17-62 years; n = 73) and a young-adult replication cohort screened for risky drinking (19-35 years; n = 56), to test whether alcohol cue exposure was associated with momentary drinking after simultaneous multivariable adjustment for social context, affective states, and event appraisal. In logistic mixed-effects models, within-person exposure to alcohol-related cues was significantly and reproducibly associated with higher odds of drinking in both cohorts. Being in company, exposure to drinking companions, and higher energetic arousal also showed reproducible within-person associations with drinking. Exploratory clustering of participant-specific slopes suggested meaningful alcohol cue-reactive and social context-reactive risk profile candidates. These findings identify alcohol cue exposure as a robust daily-life correlate of drinking and suggest candidate phenotypes motivating future validation studies of more personalized, context-aware interventions for AUD.
