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
Introduction: Central City Concern (CCC) operates several recovery housing sites in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan region, including the Blackburn Center (Blackburn) and the Richard L. Harris Building (Harris). This retrospective, observational study was designed to assess recovery housing's impact on inpatient detoxification readmission rates and healthcare utilization patterns. Methods: Our study population consisted of individuals discharged from CCC's Hooper Detox Stabilization Center from June 2019 to September 2020. A total of 75 clients housed at Blackburn, 63 clients housed at Harris, and 57 clients discharged as unhoused were included in the study sample. Using logistic regression for each of the two recovery housing groups relative to the unhoused group, we examined differences in readmissions to inpatient detoxification after their qualifying discharge. We then used Difference-In-Difference model to compare the per member per year (PMPY) use of different domains of health care before and after their qualifying discharge. Results: Compared to clients discharged as unhoused, Blackburn and Harris residents had lower risk of readmissions to inpatient detoxification treatment at 90- and 180-days post-discharge. Additionally, while the mean number of PMPY emergency department visits increased for clients discharged as unhoused in the post period, the average number of emergency department visits decreased for clients who obtained recovery housing at Blackburn (DiD=-3.65 PMPY, p-value=0.02) and at Harris (DiD=-3.87 PMPY, p-value=0.01). Conclusion: Findings highlight the impact and importance of recovery housing for individuals managing a substance use disorder and the value of healthcare system and public sector investment housing like Blackburn and Harris.
