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
objectiveThis study examined moderating effects of family warmth on relationships between positive and negative affect and alcohol and cannabis use among American Indian (AI) youth.
methodParticipants were 5,831 AI students (seventh-12th grade) surveyed during the 2021 and 2022 school years. Students completed measures of positive and negative affect, family warmth, and past year alcohol and cannabis use. Multigroup and latent moderated structural equation modeling models tested hypothesized main and interactive effects of hypothesized relationships and explored moderation by sex.
resultsFamily warmth and negative affect, but not positive affect, related significantly to alcohol use; all three predictors related significantly to cannabis use. Family warmth did not moderate associations between negative affect and either substance in the overall sample, nor the association of positive affect to alcohol use. However, family warmth moderated associations between positive affect and cannabis, with family warmth bolstering protective effects of positive affect. Female youth were less likely than male youth to use alcohol with increasing levels of warmth. Furthermore, compounding protective effects of family warmth and positive affect on cannabis use were stronger among female compared to male youth.
conclusionsSeveral factors may explain the lack of a buffering effect of family warmth on the relationship between negative affect and substance use, including the use of a general affect measure rather than individual measures of depression and anxiety. Nevertheless, these findings suggest substance use interventions should consider the compounding effects of family warmth and positive affect, particularly among female AI youth.
