Examining the indirect effect of posttraumatic stress symptoms via emotion dysregulation on alcohol misuse among trauma-exposed Latinx in primary care.
Article in Cultural diversity & ethnic minority psychology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesLatinx individuals face substantial health disparities, particularly in the areas of mental health and substance use. Among Latinx in the U.S., alcohol is the most widely abused substance and is associated with a range of negative consequences. Among Latinx, limited past work has linked trauma exposure/symptoms to alcohol misuse, however not much is known regarding how trauma exposure/symptoms may impact alcohol misuse. One potential explanatory mechanism underlying associations of traumatic stress and problematic alcohol use is emotion dysregulation. The current study sought to examine the explanatory role of emotion dysregulation in the associations of traumatic stress symptoms with alcohol misuse among trauma-exposed Latinx. Alcohol misuse was operationalized by two outcomes: alcohol use severity and probable screen for hazardous drinking.
methodLatinx adults (N = 238) were recruited from a Federally Qualified Health Center. Participants were interviewed using the M.I.N.I. and then completed various self-report assessments (in Spanish). Structural equation modeling was used to evaluate models.
resultsStructural models fit the data well. These models evidenced statistically significant indirect effects of posttraumatic stress symptoms via emotion dysregulation on alcohol use severity and probable screen for hazardous drinking. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsIn a sample comprising primarily females, posttraumatic stress symptoms may contribute to alcohol misuse and hazardous drinking attributable to maladaptive emotion regulation. Use of interventions targeting emotion dysregulation in the context of trauma and hazardous alcohol use among Latinx in primary care may be warranted.
