Emotion dysregulation as a mechanism linking anxiety and hazardous drinking among Latinos in primary care.
Article in The American journal on addictions, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesResearch suggests that Latinos experience significantly more mental health and alcohol use problems than non-Latino whites. However, relatively little is known about the mechanisms underlying alcohol use in this population. One factor associated with excessive alcohol use in Latinos is anxiety. A potential explanatory mechanism for this relationship is emotion dysregulation, as emotion dysregulation in the context of anxiety may lead to alcohol use problems/disorders. The aim of the current study was to examine the indirect effect of anxiety, through emotion dysregulation, on drinking severity and probable hazardous drinking in Latinos.
methodsLatino adults (N = 264) were recruited from a primary care health clinic as part of a larger ongoing study examining mental health among Latinos in primary care. Participants were interviewed using the MINI and then completed various self-report assessments (in Spanish). Structural equation modeling was used to evaluate model fit.
resultsStructural models fit the data well. Additionally, there were statistically significant indirect effects of anxiety via emotion dysregulation on drinking severity and probable screen for hazardous drinking. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsAnxiety may contribute to alcohol use problems due to an overall tendency to engage in maladaptive attempts to regulate emotions. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Targeting emotion dysregulation in the context of anxiety and hazardous alcohol use among Latinos may be one therapeutic strategy to reduce severity of alcohol use (and hazardous drinking).
