Correlates of risky injection practices among past-year injection drug users among the US general population.

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
backgroundWith an estimated 1 million active injection drug users (IDUs), injection drug use continues to be a public health concern in the United States. Risky injection practices have been associated with the transmission of HIV, Hepatitis B and C, as well as other skin and soft tissue infections.
methodsWe used data from 463 respondents, aged 18 and older, who were past-year IDUs in the 2005-2008 National Survey of Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). We investigated correlates of risky injection behavior among these recent IDUs.
resultsOlder age (≥ 35 versus 18-25) was associated with reusing one's own needle at last injection (aOR=1.80 [1.02-3.17], as were past year heroin (aOR=2.59 [1.18-5.66]) and cocaine injection (aOR=2.17 [1.13-4.15]). Past year crack cocaine use was positively associated with not cleaning needles with bleach (aOR=2.18 [1.10-4.33]). Past year cocaine injection was associated with obtaining needles in a risky manner (aOR=2.29 [1.23-4.25]). Methamphetamine injection was associated with obtaining needles in less risky ways (aOR=0.41 [0.20-0.84]).
conclusionOur findings indicate that some IDUs are continuing to engage in high risk injection behaviors. The identification of potential at-risk populations of IDUs may have implications for harm reduction interventions and HIV prevention programs.
