Sociodemographic and clinical outcome differences among individuals seeking treatment for cocaine use disorders. The intersection of gender and race.
Synthesis in Journal of substance abuse treatment, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundMost published treatment trials for cocaine use disorders (CUD) have been conducted with samples composed predominantly of White men and underrepresent women and racial/ethnic minorities. Because of the high prevalence of men and White individuals in CUD treatment trials, results from studies that have compared treatment outcomes by gender and race or ethnicity separately may not be representative of women or racial/ethnic minorities.
methodsWith a sample pooled from seven randomized clinical trials of treatment for CUD (n = 629), baseline characteristics and treatment outcome responses were compared with 4 subgroups of individuals created based on the intersection of gender and race (White men, Black men, White women and Black women).
resultsAt baseline, sociodemographic status, pattern, frequency and severity of cocaine use, psychiatric comorbidities, employment and legal problems significantly differed across groups. Treatment outcome indicators collected during treatment and through follow-up, consistently indicated poorer outcomes among the sample of White women, but were similar for the other groups.
conclusionsMen and women with CUD from both racial groups enter treatment with different psychosocial issues (e.g., history of violence/trauma, financial problems, co-occurring psychiatric disorders) and substance use problems (e.g. types of substances) that may impact treatment outcomes and indicate a need for culturally-informed care to deliver more effective treatment for CUD. Poorer overall outcomes among White women may reflect the need for a more focused treatment approach for this group; and highlight the importance of evaluating gender and race in treatment trials to better address health disparities.
