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

backgroundSubstance use continues to be on the rise in the United States and has been linked to new onset cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cerebrovascular disorders (CeVDs). We aimed to study the association between the types of substance use disorders (SUDs) with specific subtypes of CVDs and CeVDs among hospitalized patients using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) Database.

methodsA retrospective study of the NIS database (2016-2017) using the ICD-10-CM codes was performed. The hospitalizations with a secondary diagnosis of SUDs were identified. Weighted univariate analysis using the Chi-square test and multivariate survey logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate for the incidence, prevalence, and odds of association between vascular events and SUDs.

resultsThere were a total of 58,259,589 hospitalizations, out of which 21.42% had SUDs. SUDs were more common in the younger age group of 18-50, males, and the lower median household income group. We found a significant association of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with amphetamine dependence (adjusted odds ratio, aOR 1.23, 95% confidence interval, CI 1.14-1.33), cocaine-related disorders (1.17, 1.12-1.23), and nicotine dependence (1.42, 1.40-1.43). There was a significant association between intracerebral hemorrhage with amphetamine dependence (2.58, 2.26-2.93), cocaine-related disorders (1.62, 1.46-1.79), and alcohol-related disorders (1.35, 1.01-1.82). The association of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was noted to be higher with amphetamine dependence (1.82, 1.48-2.24) and nicotine dependence (1.47, 1.39-1.55). The patients with nicotine dependence had greater odds of having a myocardial infarction (1.85, 1.83-1.87), those with cocaine-related disorders had higher odds of having angina pectoris (2.21, 1.86-2.62), and patients with alcohol-related disorders had higher odds of developing atrial fibrillation (1.14, 1.11-1.17) in comparison to non-SUDs.

conclusionOur study demonstrates the variability of CVD and CeVD in patients hospitalized for SUD. Findings from our study may help promote increased awareness and early management of these events. Further studies are needed to evaluate the specific effects of frequency and dose on the incidence and prevalence of CVD and CeVD in patients with SUD.
