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 expectancies are beliefs about the anticipated effects of substance use, serving as key developmental precursors to adolescent substance use. However, the longitudinal trajectories of these expectancies, both substance-specific and higher order cognitive schemas, remain understudied. This study examined the developmental patterns of positive and negative substance use expectancies about alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine use as well as the time-varying influence of deviant peer affiliation and peer intolerance of substance use as environmental correlates of expectancies.
methodAdolescent self-reports were drawn from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (
resultsPositive substance use expectancies increased across all substance types. Negative expectancies showed distinct developmental patterns by substance: increasing for alcohol, decreasing for marijuana, and remaining stable for nicotine. Deviant peer affiliation was associated with increased positive expectancies, whereas peer intolerance of substance use predicted lower positive and higher negative expectancies across time.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the dynamic development of substance use expectancies in adolescence and support peer influence as a critical factor shaping cognitive vulnerability to future substance use. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
