The 10-year stability of three subscale scores of the Self-Report of the Effects of Alcohol measure and their relationship to changes in drinking quantities over the same period.
Article in Alcohol, clinical & experimental research, 2026. 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
objectivesThe retrospective self-report of the effects of alcohol (SRE) questionnaire generates three scores reflecting drinking quantities required for effects: SRE-5 (first five times of drinking), SRE-3 (recent 3 months of drinking), and SRE-H (heaviest drinking). Data to date indicate that SRE-5 scores, potentially reflecting genetic effects, have high reliabilities across 9 months. Data presented here evaluated the consistencies of all three SRE scores obtained five times over a decade.
methodParticipants were 331 young adults (45% male) from the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA) Prospective Study of youth who completed the SRE and were evaluated at least five times using the Semi-Structured Assessment for the Genetics of Alcoholism interview. Analyses documented changes in SRE scores, changes in drinking quantities, and the relationship between these measures over time using repeated measures ANOVA and regression analyses.
resultsSRE-5 scores did not change significantly across evaluations despite significant changes in drinking quantities. SRE-3 and SRE-H demonstrated significant changes over time that related to changes in drinking quantities during each period. Participants with low levels of response (low LRs) to alcohol, based on a median split of SRE-5 at Time 1, were likely to remain low LR throughout the decade.
conclusionsThis is the first report on the longer-term consistency of all three SRE scores during a decade of life in which a person's heaviest drinking and AUD development are likely to occur. Results indicate that retrospective SRE-5 scores, potentially reflecting genetic predispositions to AUD, do not change over a decade despite changes in drinking patterns.
