Sibling Coping Provision, Negative Life Events, and Substance Use.
Article in Family relations, 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
Objective: This study examined sibling coping provision as a moderator between negative life events and emerging adult substance use. Background: Greater frequency of negative life events can increase substance use in emerging adulthood. As siblings often use their relationship to cope with stress, the ways in which emerging adults interact with their younger siblings (i.e., coping provision) may correspond to their coping abilities. Thus, we examined how emerging adult coping with younger siblings modulated the association between their negative life events and the frequency of substance use. Method: In a cross-sectional sample of emerging adults (N=478, Results: Higher frequency of negative life events was associated with greater substance use for all substances, while negative sibling coping provision was associated with more alcohol and health risk substance use. Negative and supportive coping provision served to moderate the effect between negative life events and cannabis use, with less negative and more supportive coping provision serving as risk factors for cannabis use. Meanwhile, greater supportive coping provision buffered the effect between negative life events and health risk substances. Conclusion: Emerging adult responses to siblings' stress can influence their own ability to manage stress, with negative and supportive sibling coping provision serving to uniquely influence substance use. Implications: Understanding sibling responses to stress disclosure may inform how emerging adults cope with stress and their substance usage.
