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

Hispanic/Latine adults evince worse cannabis-related problems, yet little research has identified factors related to these health disparities. One factor that may play a role is anxiety sensitivity (AS; fear of anxiety-related symptoms). AS is associated with more cannabis-related problems, yet despite observed sex differences in the relation of other affective processes and cannabis outcomes, little attention has been paid to the role of sex in the relation of AS to cannabis outcomes. We tested whether the relations between AS and cannabis-related behaviors varied by sex among 520 (44.2% female) Hispanic/Latine adults who endorsed past month cannabis use. Among both men and women, AS was significantly related to more cannabis problems (but not frequency) and social, coping, conformity, and expansion motives. Among men, AS was also significantly correlated with enhancement motives. Sex did not moderate the associations between AS and cannabis outcomes. For men and women, the relation of AS with cannabis-related problems occurred indirectly via conformity motives, and via coping motives among men and via expansion motives among women. These data indicate that among individuals with greater AS, men and women report using cannabis for both similar (social, coping, conformity, and expansion motives) but also different (enhancement) reasons, and that motives for cannabis use may play different roles in the relation of AS to cannabis problems based on sex. Results highlight the importance of attending to potential sex differences in efforts to understand the role AS may have in risky cannabis use.
