Gender differences in alcohol use disorder trends from 2009-2019: An intersectional analysis.
Article in Alcohol (Fayetteville, N.Y.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTrend estimates from national surveys over the last 20 years have suggested converging rates of alcohol use over time between adult men and women. However, limited research has utilized an intersectional lens to examine how sociodemographic characteristics influence gender differences in these trends.
methodsThe current study used data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) to examine whether gender intersected with race/ethnicity, age, education level, marital status, employment status, household income, and urbanicity on temporal trends (2009-2019) in alcohol use disorder (AUD). Logistic regression and linear trend analyses were conducted to examine interaction effects of sociodemographic variables and changes in rates of AUD over time in males and females.
resultsWe observed decreasing rates of AUD over time in males and females, with larger declines in males (p = 0.01; OR = 0.96 in males vs. OR = 0.98 in females). We identified subpopulations of females that demonstrated little or no reductions during this timeframe (2009-2019), which varied by race/ethnicity, age, marital status, employment, and income but not by education or urbanicity. In adults aged 49 years and younger (overall p = 0.02; ages 18-25 OR = 0.92 in males vs. 0.96 in females, ages 26-29 OR = 0.97 in males vs. OR = 0.99 in females), and in those employed (overall p = 0.05; OR = 0.96 in males vs. OR = 0.99 in females), women demonstrated smaller declines in comparison to men. Additionally, women who reported that they were Black (p = 0.006; OR = 0.94 in males vs. OR = 1 in females), single (p = 0.009; OR = 0.94 in males vs. 0.96 in females) or earning between $20,000 and $49,000 (p = 0.012; OR = 0.96 in males vs. 0.98 in females), had smaller or no declines in AUD in compared to men with the same demographic characteristic.
conclusionsOur findings provide support for converging rates of AUD between genders and newly identify subpopulations of females that may be at heightened risk.
