Types of substance use and predictors of substance use disorders in patients suffering from psychiatric disorders - A cross sectional study.
Article in Industrial psychiatry journal. 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
Background: The types of substances used by psychiatric patients in Iraq and the Middle East vary from other areas of the world. In this region, patients mostly use prescribed drugs. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the types of substance use disorder (SUD) and their correlates among psychiatric patients in the Kurdistan region. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on patients, who visited outpatient psychiatric consultation units in the Kurdistan region of Iraq within 6 months. In this study, two hundred fifty (250) adult patients of both genders diagnosed with psychiatric disorders were included. Results: Alcohol use disorder was diagnosed in 10 (4%) of cases; after that, the most commonly used substances were benzodiazepine and trihexyphenidyl, each of them positive in 7 (2.8%) of cases, followed by opiates in 4 (1.6%) cases and poly substances in 2 (0.8%) of the cases. The correlates of SUDs included male gender, divorced person, higher educational level, and being employed. Conclusion: Psychiatric patients mostly use prescribed medications, especially benzodiazepines and trihexyphenidyl. Future research will be required to study the comorbidity between psychiatric disorders and SUDs in various groups and different settings.
