A transdiagnostic examination of affective motivations for drug use.
Article in Addictive behaviors reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionSubstance use often co-occurs with both internalizing and externalizing disorders, highlighting the importance of understanding reciprocal relations among problematic drug use and psychopathology. We examined affective (approach and avoidance) motivations for drug use as potential transdiagnostic constructs that relate to symptoms of common clinical disorders.
methods175 community adults with a lifetime history of drug use reported on their motivations for use, frequency of use, and DSM-5 lifetime psychopathology symptoms. Linear regression was used to examine associations between drug use motivations and psychopathology.
resultsAvoidance motivations for drug use (e.g., using to cope with distress) correlated positively with symptoms of both internalizing and externalizing disorders, borderline personality disorder, and psychiatric comorbidity. In contrast, approach motivations for drug use (e.g., using to get a thrill) correlated only with substance use disorder symptoms. Notably, motivations for drug use continued to show these transdiagnostic associations after accounting for general approach-avoidance motivational tendencies.
conclusionThese findings suggest that affective motivations for drug use provide a useful framework for conceptualizing substance problems that cuts across traditional dimensions of psychopathology.
