Quantifying the Burden of Opioid Use Disorder and Non-fatal Opioid Overdose in American Indian and Alaskan Native Populations Using the Cerner Real-World Data™ Database.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. 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
objectiveThis study evaluated the prevalence and incidence of opioid use disorder (OUD), rates of opioid overdose (OD), and rates of non-fatal (NF) OD in American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) populations.
methodsWe used de-identified patient data from Oracle Cerner Real-World Data™. Rates were estimated over time, and stratified by sex, age, marital status, insurance, and region. Mann-Kendall trend tests and Theil-Sen slopes assessed changes over time for each group while autoregressive modeling assessed differences between groups.
resultsThe study identified trends in OUD and OD among 700,225 AI/AN patients aged 12 and above. Between 2012 and 2022, there was a significant upward trend in both OUD and OD rates (p < 0.05) , with OUD diagnosed in 1.75% and OD in 0.38% of the population. The Western region of the US exhibited the highest rates of OUD and OD. The 35-49 age group showed the highest rates of OUD, while the 12-34 age group had the highest rates of OD. Marital status analysis revealed higher rates of OUD and OD among separated, widowed, or single patients. Additionally, individuals with Medicare or Medicaid insurance demonstrated the highest rates of OUD and OD.
conclusionResults show that rates of OUD, OD, and NF OD continue to rise among AI/AN individuals, with some regional and demographic variation. Our study provides foundational estimates of key AI/AN populations bearing greater burdens of opioid-related morbidity that federal, state, and tribal organizations can use to direct and develop targeted resources that can improve the health and well-being of AI/AN communities.
