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

: In this issue of the Journal of Addiction Medicine, 2 studies fill an important gap in knowledge by examining predictors of leaving against medical advice from inpatient withdrawal management settings. The studies identify important risk factors for leaving against medical advice and highlight important areas for inpatient withdrawal management. These include the use of substance specific standardized protocols and initiation of opioid agonist treatment instead of opioid detoxification given harms associated with opioid withdrawal. Further need for increased training in addiction medicine for primary care physicians, and use of inpatient addiction medicine consult services as part of early intervention for substance withdrawal are also discussed.
