Expanding supervised injection facilities across Canada: lessons from the Vancouver experience.
Article in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The opioid crisis has led to an unprecedented rise in the number of overdose deaths across Canada. In response, there has been an expansion of supervised injection facilities (SIFs), with several new SIFs approved or under review across the country. Much of the evidence for the benefits of SIFs in reducing overdose mortality, infectious-related complications, and public disorder comes from Insite in Vancouver, North America's first SIF. While implementing SIFs in other Canadian cities is a major step forward in combating the opioid epidemic, the diversity within our country's socio-demographic and political landscape leaves the application of SIFs in these new settings a matter of uncertainty. This commentary highlights key lessons learned from Vancouver and the potential modifications required to enhance implementation in other cities to ensure the success of new SIFs across Canada.
