Day-level shifts in social contexts during youth cannabis use treatment.
Trial report in Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveSocial context plays a critical role in youth cannabis use. Yet few studies have examined if and when social contexts shift during cannabis use treatment. This study examined daily shifts in youths' social contexts with the goal of characterizing how specific social contexts (e.g., time with cannabis-using friends or siblings) relate to cannabis craving and use during cannabis treatment.
methodParticipants were 65 cannabis users (51% male), ages 15-24 years, who participated in a double-blind randomized clinical trial that tested the effects of motivational enhancement and cognitive behavioral therapies plus either adjunctive pharmacotherapy or placebo on cannabis craving and use. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data, collected from a pre-randomization period through the completion of the six-week intervention, assessed youths' social contexts, cannabis use, and craving.
resultsTime-varying effects models identified shifts in social contexts during treatment. Overall, time spent with cannabis-using friends and siblings decreased, where time spent with non-using friends or alone increased across the trial. Time with parents or non-using siblings was unchanged. Comparing the relative associations of social contexts with same-day craving and use, more time with cannabis-using friends and with siblings was uniquely associated with greater craving and use.
conclusionsSocial context is an important factor in youth substance-use treatment. While time spent with cannabis-using friends and siblings decreased over treatment for all participants, those who continued to spend time with using individuals reported greater craving and use. This research supports increased attention to shifting youths' social contexts to enhance treatment success. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
