The epidemiology of opioid overdose in Flint and Genesee County, Michigan: Implications for public health practice and intervention.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
As the opioid epidemic continues to worsen throughout the United States, researchers and practitioners require additional tools to help in efforts to address use and prevent overdose. Although opioids are increasingly of concern to all racial and socioeconomic groups, specific geographic regions and sub-populations remain more burdened by overdoses than others. The example of Flint, Michigan, is used to contextualize the landscape of opioid overdose death and understand geographic and demographic variation in risk. Kernel density analysis and spatial joins in ArcGIS were used to map opioid overdose death clusters, treatment availability, and neighborhood-level conditions to uncover factors related to overdose death. Spatial analysis revealed three geographic clusters in opioid overdose death in Flint. These neighborhoods tended to be somewhat poorer but also significantly Whiter than the average Flint neighborhood. Alternatively, opioid overdose death clusters did not occur in predominately African-American neighborhoods. As well, treatment sites were not coincident with the location of overdose death clusters, suggesting a potential need for geographically-targeted interventions. Of the 47 treatment sites, only 29 offered medication-assisted treatment, and expansion of these programs may therefore be warranted. This work is of great importance to ongoing prevention and treatment efforts in Flint, but also to other communities with a need for better tools to monitor and intervene in the opioid epidemic.
