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

backgroundThe goal of this paper is to identify environmental, behavioral, and genetic predictors and early midlife correlates of problematic alcohol Use (PAU) patterns from adolescence to early midlife.

methodsThe data are from 1463 twin individuals (60.5% female) in the population-based FinnTwin12 cohort born 1983-1987. PAU was assessed at ages 14, 22 and 37 using symptoms of alcohol use disorder (AUD) obtained from psychiatric interviews, mmMAST scores, and the AUDIT. Self-reported health and well-being were assessed at age 37. A behavioral and environmental risk index (BERI) was created by summing six risk factors: low socioeconomic status in childhood, family history of AUD, childhood externalizing and internalizing behaviors, adolescent substance use, peer substance use, and stressful life events in adolescence. The twins' genetic predispositions were indexed using polygenic scores for externalizing behavior (PGS

resultsTwins were classified into four PAU groups: Never (n = 599, reference), Remitted (n = 480), Persistent (n = 271), and Late-onset (n = 113). When included in the same model, both BERI and PGS

conclusionsPersistent PAU was associated with the most negative outcomes in early midlife, and childhood and adolescent risk factors and genetic risk as indexed by PGS
