1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe burden of alcohol-attributable disease is a global problem. Young people often present to emergency health-care services with alcohol intoxication but little is known about how best to intervene at that point to improve future health outcomes. This study aimed to assess whether young people with an alcohol-specific hospital admission are at increased risk of injury following discharge.

methodsA cohort study was conducted using a general population of 10- to 24-year-olds identified using primary care medical records with linked hospital admission records between 1998 and 2013. Exposed individuals had an alcohol-specific admission. Unexposed individuals did not and were frequency matched by age (±5 years) and general practice (ratio 10:1). Incidence rates of injury-related hospital admission post discharge were calculated, and hazard ratios (HR) were estimated by Cox regression.

resultsThe cohort comprised 11,042 exposed and 110,656 unexposed individuals with 4,944 injury-related admissions during follow-up (2,092 in exposed). Injury rates were six times higher in those with a prior alcohol admission (73.92 per 1,000 person-years, 95% confidence interval (CI) 70.82-77.16 vs. 12.36, 11.91-12.81). The risk of an injury admission was highest in the month following an alcohol-specific admission (adjusted HR = 15.62, 95% CI 14.08-17.34), and remained higher compared to those with no previous alcohol-specific admission at 1 year (HR 5.28 (95% CI 4.97-5.60)) and throughout follow-up.

conclusionsYoung people with an alcohol-specific admission are at increased risk of subsequent injury requiring hospitalization, especially immediately post discharge, indicating a need for prompt intervention as soon as alcohol misuse behaviors are identified.
