Willingness to access an in-hospital supervised injection facility among hospitalized people who use illicit drugs.
Article in Journal of hospital medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundDespite the reliance on abstinence-based drug policies within hospital settings, illicit drug use is common among hospitalized patients with severe drug addiction. Hospitalized patients who use illicit drugs (PWUDs) have been known to resort to high-risk behavior to conceal their drug use from healthcare providers. Novel interventions with the potential to reduce high-risk behavior among PWUDs in hospital settings have not been well studied.
objectiveThe objective of the study was to examine factors associated with willingness to access an in-hospital supervised injection facility (SIF).
designData were derived from participants enrolled in 2 Canadian prospective cohort studies involving PWUDs between June 2013 and November 2013. A cross-sectional study surveying various sociodemographic characteristics, drug use patterns, and experiences was conducted.
settingVancouver, Canada. MEASUREMENTS: Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to explore factors significantly associated with willingness to access an in-hospital SIF.
resultsAmong 732 participants, 499 (68.2%) would be willing to access an in-hospital SIF. In multivariable analyses, factors positively and significantly associated with willingness to access an in-hospital SIF included: daily heroin injection (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.90; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20-3.11); having used illicit drugs in hospital (AOR = 1.63; 95% CI: 1.18-2.26); and having recently used an SIF (AOR = 1.53; 95% CI: 1.10-2.15).
conclusionsOur findings highlight the potential of in-hospital SIFs to complement existing harm reduction programs that serve PWUD. Moreover, an in-hospital SIF may minimize the harms associated with high-risk illicit drug use in the hospital.
