Gender moderates the association between distress tolerance and alcohol use among individuals with opioid use disorder.

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
backgroundAlcohol use among individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) can be dangerous, and understanding factors contributing to alcohol use in this population is important. The current study examined alcohol use among individuals with prescription OUD based on distress tolerance. It was hypothesized that individuals with greater distress tolerance abilities would have a lower frequency and quantity of alcohol use compared to individuals with less distress tolerance. It was also hypothesized that this association would differ based on gender.
methodsA total of 122 individuals with prescription OUD participated in the current study. Participants completed questionnaires regarding demographics, distress tolerance, mental health symptoms, and frequency and quantity of alcohol in the past 30 days. A regression model was conducted using the alcohol-related variables as outcomes.
resultsThere was a significant interaction between gender and distress tolerance on alcohol use frequency. Greater distress tolerance was associated with fewer alcohol use days in women, but there was no association between distress tolerance and alcohol use days in men.
conclusionsThe findings suggest that distress tolerance skills may be key to reducing alcohol use in women with prescription OUD.
