Momentary cannabis effects on alcohol use among adults trying to quit or cut back on drinking.

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
objectiveMany individuals who couse alcohol and cannabis endorse using cannabis to drink less alcohol. However, cannabis use during or after alcohol treatment predicts worse alcohol outcomes. Examining whether cannabis use affects alcohol use, craving, and related cognitions within person will help clarify this discrepancy and inform treatment. We tested competing hypotheses in individuals' daily lives: cannabis as harm reduction (predicting decreased alcohol use/craving and increased alcohol-goal self-efficacy/motivation) versus cannabis as an obstacle to reducing alcohol consumption (predicting the opposite pattern).
methodWe recruited
resultsMultilevel models demonstrated that momentary cannabis use predicted increased subsequent alcohol self-efficacy (
conclusionsAdults who are trying to quit or cut back on drinking might perceive that cannabis use supports alcohol reduction efforts. Instead, cannabis use appears to be an obstacle to reducing drinking. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
