Racial Disparities in Outpatient Substance Use Disorder Treatment Completion: Trends and Changes from 2004 to 2024.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. 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
Racial disparities have been found in outpatient substance use disorder (SUD) treatment completion rates. Improvements in access to treatment have sought to decrease these disparities and increase treatment engagement and success. To understand outcomes among different racial groups across time, we assessed (1) completion rates, (2) racial representation among patients who have completed treatment, (3) general representation of racial groups within treatment, and (4) treatment length between 2004 and 2024. "Completion" is defined as "meeting all treatment goals". Chi-squared analyses suggest significant differences among racial groups within the completed (x215=158.0, p=<0.001), not-completed (x215=561.75, p=<0.001), and other (x215=186.19, p=<0.001) groups across time. Asian and Other/Multiracial patients experienced the greatest improvement in both representation within treatment overall and proportional representation within the "completer" group over time, despite their overall completion rates fluctuating. White and Black/African American patients decreased in representation, completion rates, and representation in the "completer" group over time, with a peak in 2004-2009. In terms of length of stay, White patients remained in treatment the longest across time,
