Methamphetamine related cues impact impulsive choice by decreasing loss aversion.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundWe investigated alterations in impulsive choice and impulsive action among individuals with methamphetamine use disorder (MUD) compared to a control group after exposure to cues associated with methamphetamine (METH).
methodsThirty-four participants with MUD and 31 healthy participants were instructed to experience a METH-related virtual reality (VR) social environment and to perform the go/no-go task as well as the balloon analog risk task (BART) before (the baseline condition) and after (the cue-induced condition) watching a VR video.
resultsThere were no significant differences between groups for go/no-go task both in the baseline condition and cue-induced condition. The METH group exhibited more adjusted pumps in the cue-induced condition than in the baseline condition. The λ (loss aversion) of the METH group was significantly lower in the cue-induced condition than in the baseline condition. In the correlation analysis of behavioral data and the exponential-weight mean-variance (EWMV) parameters, λ was the only parameter related to adjusted pumps both in the baseline condition and the cue-induced condition, reflected by a strong negative correlation.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that METH related cues may impact impulsive choice, but not impulsive action, by decreasing loss aversion.
