Influence of inpatient withdrawal treatment on drug safety in alcohol use disorder - a quasi-experimental pre-post study.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveMost patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) regularly take medication. Alcohol interacts negatively with many commonly prescribed medications. Little is known about whether the risk of potential alcohol-medication and drug-drug interactions increases or decreases in patients with AUD during inpatient withdrawal treatment. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of potential alcohol-medication and drug-drug interactions in patients with AUD before and after withdrawal treatment in an addiction unit.
designProspective monocentric quasi-experimental pre-post study.
methodsMedication records before and after withdrawal treatment were analyzed and screened for potential alcohol-medication (pAMI) and drug-drug interactions (pDDI) using the drugs.com classification and the AiDKlinik
resultsWe enrolled 153 patients with AUD who were treated in an addiction unit of a university hospital in Germany. Of these, 67.3% experienced at least one pAMI before and 91.5% after withdrawal treatment. In total, there were 278 pAMIs classified as "mild," "moderate," or "severe" before and 370 pAMIs after withdrawal treatment. Additionally, there were 76 pDDIs classified as "moderate," "severe," or "contraindicated combinations" both before and after withdrawal treatment.
conclusionThe risk of exposure to pAMIs and pDDIs increases during inpatient withdrawal treatment in patients with AUD. Improvements in the quality of prescribing should particularly focus on the use of antihypertensives and opioids.
