Perceived stress and pandemic-associated risk factors in high-risk alcohol consumers during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in Health psychology report, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAs a severe and prolonged stressor, the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to development or exacerbation of mental disorders. For substance use disorder, the link between stress and alcohol consumption is well established. However, there have been conflicting findings in the context of the pandemic. The aim of this study was to characterize the group of high-risk alcohol consumers in terms of perceived stress and potential stressors during the third wave of the pandemic. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: Adult Polish men (
resultsOverall PSS-10 results did not differ significantly between high-risk and low-risk alcohol consumers (18.40, 17.50, respectively,
conclusionsHigh-risk and low-risk alcohol consumers have been clearly impacted by pandemic-related factors. The protective effect of alcohol is debatable, given the high prevalence of medium and high stress levels among high-risk alcohol consumers. It appears that the pandemic and associated restrictions posed such a significant risk for distress escalation that they remained unrelated to the pattern of alcohol consumption or its alteration.
