Comparing Facets of Emotion Dysregulation as Daily Cannabis Use Predictors: A Dominance Analysis Study.
Article in Research square, 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
Cannabis remains the most widely used illicit substance in the United States, specifically among young adults. Previous research identifies emotion dysregulation as a predictor of cannabis use, yet there remains some uncertainty in the literature regarding which facets of emotion dysregulation are the most important in relation to cannabis use. Indeed, the studies that have compared the facet-level associations of dysregulation with cannabis use have provided broadly conflicting results. These conflicts in the literature may be due, in part, to researchers relying on simple comparisons of correlation or regression coefficients; a problematic approach given the correlations among the facets of dysregulation. This study applied a regimen of model selection and dominance analyses in order to provide some clarity regarding which facets of emotion dysregulation are the most important predictors of cannabis use. Method: A sample of 353 undergraduate students completed an online survey study that included the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and the Daily Sessions, Frequency, Age of Onset, and Quantity of Cannabis Use Inventory. Results: Statistical analyses, including negative binomial regression and dominance analysis, indicated that the DERS impulsivity facet as the most dominant predictor of daily cannabis use, followed by the strategies and non-acceptance facets, respectively. Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of targeting specific components of emotion regulation difficulties in interventions aimed at reducing cannabis use among young adults. We offer suggestions for the integration of our findings in the development of targeted interventions.
