1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo determine latent classes of treatment receipt among people with comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder (SUD) and describe each class by demographics, disease characteristics, and psychiatric diagnoses.

methodParticipants were National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III respondents with lifetime PTSD and SUD (n = 1,349; mean age 40.3; 62.5% female; 30.9% non-White or Hispanic-White). Cross-sectional data were collected using the DSM-5 Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule. Latent class analysis was used to identify subgroups of participants with different patterns of treatment receipt.

resultsOf the patients, 36% received at least 1 SUD treatment while 84% received at least 1 mental health (MH) treatment. Six latent classes were identified: no treatment (17.3%), outpatient MH (34.0%), outpatient + inpatient MH (17.9%), SUD (7.3%), SUD + outpatient MH (15.7%), and SUD + outpatient MH + inpatient MH (7.7%). The SUD treatment classes evidenced greater social instability, had higher alcohol use disorder symptom severity, and used more drug types than the non-SUD classes. Classes receiving inpatient MH treatment had a greater incidence of additional comorbid conditions and suicidal behaviors. Across all 6 classes, most respondents met diagnostic criteria for chronic PTSD (overall: 68.9%) while fewer met diagnostic criteria for chronic SUD (overall: 38.7%).

conclusionsMost people with lifetime PTSD and SUD have sought either SUD or MH treatment or both, with substantially greater receipt of MH treatment. This comorbid group has complex clinical presentations that differ depending upon treatment subgroup, and for most, their PTSD persisted despite high rates of treatment engagement.
