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

objectiveTrauma-exposed individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms are at risk for problematic cannabis use. However, modifiable risk factors associated with cannabis use in this population are less clear. Posttraumatic cognitions (PTC; negative cognitions about the self, self-blame, and negative cognitions about the world) have recently been investigated as potential motivators for substance use, particularly to cope with distress, but extant research is limited. The current study tested whether PTC are associated with increased coping-oriented cannabis cravings using an experimental design (i.e., trauma script-driven imagery).

methodTrauma-exposed cannabis users (N = 56; 58.9% female; M

resultsAfter covarying for cannabis use frequency and PTSD diagnosis, elevated PTC were significantly associated with increased state cravings to use cannabis to cope with negative emotions (β = .19, t(46) = 2.32, p = .025, sr

conclusionElevated PTC, particularly about the self, may enhance cannabis cravings in response to trauma cues. Future research may include investigating associations between PTC and cannabis use in naturalistic environments outside of the laboratory setting.
