Epidemiology of psychoactive substance use in Togo: results of WENDU data collection from 2015 to 2019.
Article in La Tunisie medicale, 2023. 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
introductionAddiction to psychoactive substances (PAS) is nowadays a public health problem. In Togo, data on the use of PAS are scattered, and do not give the national scope of the phenomenon.
aimTo describe the epidemiological characteristics of psychoactive substances users (PASU) in Togo.
methodThis was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from January 1st, 2015 to December 31st, 2019 among PASU, using the standardized WENDU data collection form.
resultsIn five years of data collection, 2516 PASU were identified in the care facilities. These PASU were male in 91.9% of cases. Their predominant age groups were respectively 25 to 29 years (25.6%), 20 to 24 years (18.9%) and 30 to 34 years (16.4%). The CSM Yendoubé and the HPZ received respectively 25.4% and 18.0% of cases. The family circle was the initiator of the request for care in 77.5% of cases. Alcohol (54.3%) and cannabis (49.3%) were the main PAS.
conclusionOur results have enabled us to identify the contours and extent of the addiction phenomenon in Togo, thus opening the way to future perspectives in the planning of preventive strategies.
