1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: The aim of this study is to conduct a population-level study on substance use treatment utilization among immigrants from Muslim-majority countries (MMC) and non-MMC, compared with Canadian-born individuals in Ontario. Methods: A population-based, repeated measures cross-sectional study was conducted. Additionally, individuals with at least one contact with substance use services were followed. Negative binomial models were run to compare the rate ratio of the number of repeated healthcare visits per person per year of follow-up by subpopulation group. This study included three separate populations (Canadian-born, immigrants from MMC, and immigrants from non-MMC) residing in Ontario, Canada. All individuals residing in Ontario on the first day of each calendar year from January 2003 to December 2022 were included. Data were collected from three major sources: outpatient visits, emergency department visits, and inpatient hospitalizations. Results: In 2022, immigrants from MMC ( Conclusions: Immigrants from MMC and non-MMC with substance use disorders may utilize service only at critical stages, thereby jeopardizing treatment success.
