Heroin and nonmedical prescription opioid use among high school students in urban school districts.
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 12 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
backgroundResearch on adolescent heroin use has focused on national surveillance, access, prevalence of use, and overdose deaths, however, to our knowledge, no study has examined local-level differences in the prevalence of adolescent heroin use in the context of nonmedical prescription opioid (NMPO) use. This study characterizes heroin and NMPO use among US high school students in select urban areas by sex and race/ethnicity.
methodsData are from 21 urban school districts that participate in CDC's Local Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System. We describe 2017 prevalence estimates (and 95 % confidence intervals) of lifetime heroin and NMPO use among youth stratified by sex and race/ethnicity (i.e., White, Black, Hispanic/Latino).
resultsThe highest estimates of heroin use were in Baltimore, MD (7.6 %), Shelby County, TN (6.3 %), and Duval County, FL (6.1 %), whereas NMPO use was highest in Duval County, FL (18.1 %), Cleveland, OH (18.0 %), and Shelby County, TN (16.8 %). Heroin use was higher among boys than girls, especially among Hispanic/Latino boys in Duval County (12.3 %) and Black boys in Baltimore (10.9 %). NMPO use was highest among Hispanic/Latino girls (21.3 %) and White girls (19.9 %) in Duval County. DISCUSSION: While some cities and subpopulations with high levels of adolescent heroin use also had elevated levels of NMPO use, others did not, illustrating the complexities of this opioid epidemic.
