The role of distress intolerance for panic and nicotine withdrawal symptoms during a biological challenge.
Trial report in Journal of psychopharmacology (Oxford, England), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
backgroundDistress intolerance is linked to the maintenance of panic disorder and cigarette smoking, and may underlie both problems.
methodSmokers (n = 54; 40.7% panic disorder) were recruited for an experimental study; half were randomly assigned to 12-hour nicotine deprivation and half smoked as usual. The current investigation consisted of secondary, exploratory analyses from this larger experimental study. Four distress intolerance indices were examined as predictors of anxious responding to an emotional elicitation task (10% carbon dioxide (CO2)-enriched air challenge); anxious responding was in turn examined as a predictor of post-challenge panic and nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
resultsThe Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) was significantly negatively associated with anxious responding to the challenge (β = -0.41, p = 0.017). The DTS was negatively associated with post-challenge increases nicotine withdrawal symptoms indirectly through the effect of anxious responding to the challenge (b = -0.485, CI95% (-1.095, -0.033)). This same indirect effect was found for post-challenge severity of panic symptoms (b = -0.515, CI95% (-0.888, -0.208)). The DTS was directly predictive of post-challenge increases nicotine withdrawal symptoms, in the opposite direction (β = 0.37, p = 0.009), but not panic symptom severity.
conclusionsAnxious responding in response to stressful experiences may explain the impact of perceived distress intolerance on panic and nicotine withdrawal symptom expression.
