    New ARDaC Portal Release Now Available

    The ARDaC Portal is available at https://portal.ardac.org/.

    The ARDaC Portal has been updated with TRT-003 study data, expanded time-to-event analysis, and a new Publications tab.

    Alongside Kaplan–Meier curves, users can now explore competing-risks analyses for Return to Drinking and Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), accounting for death as a competing event. The page also shows how many participants met the data requirements for each curve.

    The Publications tab allows users to browse AlcHepNet-related publications and filter them by year, publication type, and journal.

    New ARDaC Portal Release Now Available

    The ARDaC Portal has been updated with new data resources and features to support addiction research and data discovery.

    This release includes the addition of the TREAT study, newly available proteomics data, and the new Anagine Summary Report feature.

    The Anagine Summary Report allows users to generate a one-click PDF report from filtered Explorer data, including cohort-level summaries, data availability, participant and visit characteristics, biospecimen and lab result summaries, and visual outputs where available.

    To help users become familiar with the new portal, ARDaC will host a user training session in mid-June 2026. The training will introduce the new portal, TREAT study data, proteomics resources, and the Anagine Summary Report feature.

    Previous training materials, including slides, recordings, and user guides, are available here: Training Slides (PPTX) and Training Recording (YouTube).

    During the transition period, the previous portal version will remain temporarily available through an archive site. More information about the transition timeline will be provided separately.
