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
objectiveSubstance use disorders frequently co-occur with internalizing disorders, such as depression and anxiety, particularly among emerging adults in treatment. While a growing literature has examined bidirectional associations between internalizing symptoms and substance use, findings remain mixed. The present study investigated whether social recovery capital (SRC) mediated bidirectional internalizing symptoms and substance use behaviors associations.
methodEmerging adults (
resultsResults indicated that SRC and percent days abstinent increased over time, while internalizing symptoms decreased. Substance use consequences initially decreased but increased after the 3-month follow-up. At the within-person level, there was no support for the central hypothesis that SRC would mediate internalizing symptom-substance use associations. Greater internalizing symptoms were contemporaneously associated with higher substance use consequences. More SRC was contemporaneously associated with higher percent days abstinent and lower internalizing symptoms.
conclusionsContemporaneous associations between more SRC and lower internalizing symptoms and greater percent days abstinent suggest SRC may facilitate reductions of co-occurring substance use and internalizing symptoms. Future studies should explore alternative timescales and use more comprehensive measures of SRC. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
