1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Emotion dysregulation mediates the effects of stress on drinking among individuals with co-occurring emotional and alcohol use disorders (AUD). The current study examined the effects of cognitive reappraisal (CR), an adaptive emotion regulation strategy, on mechanisms that contribute to drinking (alcohol craving, inhibitory control) among 50 women veterans. In session one, participants were randomized to one of two 50-min "microinterventions", either to learn a CR coping strategy or receive non-therapeutic psychoeducation control. In session two, all participants underwent a personalized stress induction, after which women in the experimental condition were instructed to use CR to reduce stress, while those in the control group were instructed to sit quietly. Craving and inhibitory control were measured at post-stress induction and after using CR/sitting quietly. Moderating effects of AUD, depression, and PTSD severity were assessed. Craving and inhibitory control improved among women in both conditions (CR or sitting quietly), with no main effect of condition. Condition by AUD severity had a significant interaction effect (b = 0.018, p = .013), whereby women with more severe AUD had greater decreases in craving after sitting quietly, and women with less severe AUD had greater decreases in craving after CR. The opposite pattern was observed for inhibitory control (b = 6.45, p = .004), with women with less severe AUD having greater decreases in inhibitory control after sitting quietly, and women with more severe AUD having greater decreases in inhibitory control after CR. Results highlight CR's immediate effects on alcohol-related outcomes and the important role of symptom severity.
