The phenotype of recovery IV: Delay discounting predicts perceived stress and a chance locus of control in individuals in recovery from substance use disorders.
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 12 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
objectiveUnderstanding individuals who are successful in recovery from substance use disorders will help to inform treatments and preventative measures. Stress has been shown to be associated with both substance use and relapse. Delay discounting is associated with risk of substance use; it is predictive of treatment outcomes and maintained abstinence. Associations between perceived stress, beliefs about locus of control, and delay discounting have yet to be assessed in individuals in recovery from substance use disorder.
methodsData from 93 individuals in recovery from substance use recruited from the International Quit and Recovery Registry (IQRR) were analyzed. Individuals completed the adjusting amount delay discounting procedure to obtain delay discounting rates. Level of perceived stress was assessed by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). An individual's belief about locus of control was assessed using the Internality, Powerful Others and Chance Scale (IPCS).
resultsDelay discounting was a significant predictor of perceived stress and scores associated with beliefs about a Chance locus of control (i.e., belief that events that occur in an individual's life are because of chance or luck), even after controlling for demographic characteristics. Time in recovery was also predictive of levels of perceived stress; this relationship was mediated by delay discounting.
conclusionThe present study indicates that delay discounting can predict perception of stress and beliefs about a chance locus of control in individuals in recovery. This information may help understand, identify, and assist individuals whomay need different, new, or more intensive interventions for their substance use disorder.
