Alcohol and drug use disorders among adults in emergency department settings in the United States.
Article in Annals of emergency medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
STUDY
objectiveImproving identification and treatment for substance use disorders is a national priority, but data about various drug use disorders encountered in emergency departments (EDs) are lacking. We examine past-year substance use and substance use disorders (alcohol, 9 drug classes) among adult ED users. Prevalences of substance use and substance use disorders among ED nonusers are calculated for reference purposes.
methodsUsing data from the 2007 to 2009 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health, we assessed substance use disorders among noninstitutionalized adults aged 18 years or older who responded to standardized survey questions administered by audio computer-assisted self-interviewing methods.
resultsOf all adults (N=113,672), 27.8% used the ED in the past year. ED users had higher prevalences than ED nonusers of coexisting alcohol and drug use (15.2% versus 12.1%), drug use (any drug, 16.9% versus 13.0%; marijuana, 12.1% versus 9.7%; opioids, 6.6% versus 4.1%), and alcohol or drug disorders (11.0% versus 8.5%). Among substance users, the ED group on average spent more days using drugs than the non-ED group; ED users manifested higher conditional rates of substance use disorders than ED nonusers (alcohol or drugs, 15.9% versus 11.7%; marijuana, 16.6% versus 13.2%; cocaine, 33.2% versus 22.3%; opioids, 20.6% versus 10.0%; stimulants, 18.6% versus 9.2%; sedatives, 35.0% versus 4.4%; tranquilizers, 12.4% versus 5.2%). Regardless of ED use status, substance-using young adults, men, and less-educated adults showed increased odds of having a substance use disorder.
conclusionDrug use is prevalent and combined with high rates of drug use disorders among drug users treated in the ED.
