Rates of past-year alcohol treatment across two time metrics and differences by alcohol use disorder severity and mental health comorbidities.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionLittle is known about how alcohol treatment rates vary across age or years since onset of an alcohol use disorder (AUD). We examined past-year treatment prevalence and associations across these important time metrics.
methodData on 22,278 adults ages 18-50 were from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (2012-2013). We examined the age-varying prevalence of alcohol treatment and associations of past-year AUD severity, MDD status, and DUD status with treatment. Additionally, for individuals with a lifetime AUD (N=7089), we examined associations of severity, MDD, and DUD across years since AUD onset.
resultsIndividuals with Moderate/Severe past-year AUD had significantly higher treatment rates at nearly all ages, compared to those with Mild or no AUD. For those with Moderate/Severe AUD, treatment rates were highest during late adolescence and middle adulthood and lowest during early adulthood. Mental health comorbidities were positively associated with treatment at certain age ranges in mid-adulthood. Among individuals with a lifetime AUD, those with Moderate/Severe past-year AUD had significantly higher past-year treatment rates across all years since onset. MDD and DUD were both positively associated with treatment at nearly all years since AUD onset.
conclusionsAlcohol treatment rates varied notably by age and, to a lesser extent, by years since AUD onset. Greater AUD severity was consistently associated with higher rates of treatment, whereas Mild AUD had a much weaker relationship. MDD and DUD showed similar patterns of positive association with treatment. Our results highlight important subgroups where unmet treatment needs are highest.
