Young Adults Coping with Sibling Loss: Risk and Protective Factors for Substance Use Disorder.
Article in Journal of child & adolescent trauma, 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
Purpose: Although significant progress has been made in understanding substance use disorder (SUD), little research has specifically examined risk and protective factors among young adults coping with sibling loss. While some bereaved individuals develop SUD, others successfully implement protective strategies. Methods: The current study ( Results: Higher-quality communication with parents was associated with a lower likelihood of developing SUD. Additionally, the relationships between depression, stress, and SUD were significantly moderated by sibling loss. Specifically, among bereaved young adults, increased guilt (mediated by anxiety and depression) heightened SUD risk, whereas increased feelings of inadequacy and stigma toward loss were associated with reduced risk. Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of targeted support and interventions for young adults experiencing sibling loss, highlighting pathways that can reduce vulnerability to SUD.
