Disparities in Criminal Justice Outcomes After Beginning Treatment for Substance Use Disorders: The Influence of Race/Ethnicity and Place.
Article in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study examined whether racial/ethnic disparities exist in posttreatment arrests and assessed the extent to which community characteristics account for such disparities.
methodAdministrative data on clients (N = 10,529) receiving publicly funded services in Washington State were linked with criminal justice and census data. Multilevel survival models were used for two outcomes measuring time (in days) to any arrest and to any substance-related arrest. Community characteristics included a factor measuring community economic disadvantage and the proportions of residents in the client's residential census tract who were Black, Latino, or American Indian/Alaskan Native.
resultsWhen we controlled for age, sex, substance use, referral source, and prior criminal justice involvement, Black clients (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.47, p < .01) had a higher hazard of any arrest compared with White clients, and Black (HR = 1.27, p < .05) and Latino (HR = 1.20, p < .05) clients had a higher hazard of a substance-related arrest. Clients living in census tracts with a higher proportion of Black residents had a higher hazard of any arrest (HR = 1.25, p < .01) as well as substance-related arrests (HR = 1.39, p < .01). Community characteristics did not account for racial/ethnic disparities in arrests but provided an independent effect.
conclusionsDisparities in arrest outcomes are influenced by both individual- and community-level factors; therefore, strategies for reducing disparities in this treatment outcome should be implemented at both levels.
