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

objectiveThis study sought to test whether negative urgency moderates the relationship between Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and alcohol demand.

methodIn this secondary data analysis, participants (N=101; 58.2% female) completed an online procedure which included, a trauma cue manipulation (expressive writing exercise), pre- and post-cue versions of the Alcohol Purchase Task (APT, measuring alcohol demand), and self-report measures of trauma history, alcohol use, and PTSD symptoms. Five indices of alcohol demand data were calculated: intensity, breakpoint,

resultsNegative urgency was a significant moderator for intensity, breakpoint,

conclusionsIndividuals with PTSD and high negative urgency value alcohol more in the context of trauma-cue elicited negative affect. Trait-levels of negative urgency are important for identifying those with PTSD who are at greatest risk for problematic alcohol use and impulsive decision making in the context of a trauma cue.
