Care outcomes and alcohol-related treatment utilisation profiles of patients with alcohol-use disorder: A prospective cohort study using electronic health records.
Article in Nordisk alkohol- & narkotikatidskrift : NAT, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundWe examined the probabilities of longitudinal care outcomes of working-aged patients with alcohol-use disorder (AUD) and their alcohol-related treatment utilisation patterns across the healthcare services, by using linked electronic health records.
methodsA random sample (
resultsAt the end of the follow-up period, an increased mortality rate of 22.9% was observed, and 18.4% had achieved stable remission, while for the majority (56%), the AUD remained. Most of those in remission had contact with either specialised AUD services or mental health services. Conversely, the majority of those who had died had no contact with specialised AUD services during the follow-up period.
conclusionsThe electronic-health-record-based register analysis captured mainly individuals with advanced forms of AUD. An excess mortality rate and other negative health consequences were observed. Training providers to identify and treat earlier the less severe forms of AUD could have major benefit to patients and also reduce health system costs.
