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

objectiveNegative reinforcement models suggest that negative affect should predict event-level substance use, however, supporting daily-life evidence is lacking. One reason may be an emphasis in ecological momentary assessment (EMA) research on use behavior, which is subject to contextual and societal constraints that other substance outcomes, such as craving, may not be subject to. Therefore, the present study tested momentary, within-person reciprocal relations among negative affect and craving for alcohol and cannabis in daily life.

methodAdults (

resultsWithin-person increases in negative affect were contemporaneously associated with within-person increases in alcohol and cannabis craving. However, increases in negative affect did not prospectively predict increases in craving, and within-person increases in craving did not prospectively predict within-person increases in negative affect. Within-person relations were not moderated by substance use frequency.

conclusionsNegative affect and craving were associated in community adults. However, results advance a growing body of EMA work suggesting that the association of daily-life negative affect and substance use is, at best, not straightforward. Careful attention is needed to better translate existing negative reinforcement theory to the realities of daily life. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
