Alcohol and substance use diagnoses among HIV-positive patients receiving care in NYC clinic settings.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundSubstance use among HIV-positive persons exacerbates health problems. This study sought to estimate the prevalence of alcohol and drug-use diagnoses and examined hypothesized predictors associated with alcohol and drug-use diagnoses among HIV-positive patients in New York City (NYC).
methodsThis cohort study reviewed electronic medical records (EMRs) of 4965 HIV-positive patients based on diagnostic codes. These patients attended a comprehensive care clinic in NYC in 2012. Multinomial logistic regression was used to predict the odds of classification into substance use diagnosis grouping.
resultsOf the full sample, only 12.7% of patients had an alcohol use diagnosis documented in their EMR compared with more than one-quarter (26.4%) of patients having a recorded drug use diagnosis (p<0.001). Compared with the No Alcohol or Drugs group, the regression model showed that older age and having a recent inpatient hospital stay independently predicted being in the Alcohol Only group; years living with HIV, having an unsuppressed viral load, and having a recent inpatient hospital stay were associated with higher odds of being in the Drugs Only and Alcohol and Drugs groups; and being women and men who have sex with men (MSM) were associated with decreased odds of being in the Drugs Only and Alcohol and Drugs groups.
conclusionsSubstance use diagnosis was associated with viremia and low CD4 counts and hospital stays. This implies that providers should screen for substance use in HIV-positive patients with poor health. Further examination of the extent of such comorbidity is instrumental for intervention efforts.
