Circulating Immune and Endocrine Markers in Currently Drinking and Abstinent Individuals With Alcohol Use Disorder and Controls.
Article in Addiction biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is associated with changes in endocrine and immune system function. This study is a secondary analysis aimed at investigating changes in circulating immune and endocrine biomarkers in blood samples from three groups: (1) healthy controls (HC, N = 12), (2) AUD-currently drinking, nontreatment seeking (CD, N = 9), and (3) AUD-abstinent, treatment-seeking (AB, N = 10; abstinent for at least 6 weeks). We hypothesized that both immune and endocrine biomarker concentrations would be different in AUD groups compared to healthy controls. Immune biomarkers included IL-8, IL-18, CCL2, TNF-α, IL-1RA, IL-6, and IL-10. Endocrine biomarkers included brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), ghrelin, gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP), growth hormone, leptin, and insulin. Biomarker concentrations were compared between the three groups while controlling for age and sex, and associations between biomarker concentrations and behavioral measures were explored. IL-8 concentrations were elevated in AB compared to CD and HC (F(2,29) = 6.33, p = 0.006, ƞ
