Mortality, causes of death, and health status among methamphetamine users.
Article in Journal of addictive diseases, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
This study examines causes of death, years of life lost, and health and drug use characteristics associated with mortality over an 8 to 10 year period in a sample of methamphetamine users who had and had not received substance use disorder treatment (N = 563). Decedents reported initiating their methamphetamine use for different reasons than surviving methamphetamine users, and some of these differences varied by treatment status. Study findings provide additional detail on long-term health and mortality outcomes in a diverse sample of methamphetamine users, which may inform public health strategies targeting the comparable and divergent needs of treated and untreated populations.
