Latent COVID-19 Clusters in Patients with Opioid Misuse.
Article in Studies in health technology and informatics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The goal of this paper is to apply unsupervised machine learning techniques in order to discover latent clusters in patients who have opioid misuse and also undergone COVID-19 testing. Target dataset has been constructed based on COVID-19 testing results at Mount Sinai Health System and opioid treatment program (OTP) information from New York State Office of Addiction Service and Support (OASAS). The dataset was preprocessed using factor analysis for mixed data (FAMD) method and then K-means algorithm along with elbow method were used to determine the number of optimal clusters. Four patient clusters were identified among which the fourth cluster constituted the maximum percentage of positive COVID-19 test results (20%). Compared to the other clusters, this cluster has the highest percentage of African Americans. This cluster has also the highest mortality rate (16.52%), hospitalization rate after receiving the COVID-19 test result (72.17%, use of ventilator (7.83%) and ICU admission rate (47.83%). In addition, this cluster has the highest percentage of patients with at least one chronic disease (99.13%) and age-adjusted comorbidity score more than 1 (83.48%). Longer participation in OTP was associated with the highest morbidity and mortality from COVID-19.
