Elevated Stress Reactivity: A Barrier to Cannabis Use Change Behavior.
Article in Substance use & misuse, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveRates of cannabis use have continued to grow alongside state legalization in the United States. Many cannabis users continue to use regularly despite adverse consequences, making it important to understand potential barriers to change. Elevated stress reactivity is commonly associated with substance misuse, including cannabis, as substances may serve as a coping method to mitigate anxiety-related symptoms. The current study explored the relationship between reactivity to a laboratory stress induction and fluctuation in motivation to change cannabis use over a three-month period in regular cannabis users.
method102 cannabis users (78.4% white) attended a baseline lab visit during which motivation to change cannabis use and subjective as well as physiological reactivity to a laboratory stress induction were measured. Motivation to change cannabis use was measured again at a three-month follow-up in a 68-participant subsample.
resultsLarger skin conductance response (
conclusionsThese finds suggest that elevated sympathetic stress reactivity may serve as a barrier to cannabis change behavior.
