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

backgroundAlcohol-related harms - including acute and chronic harms as well as those partially- and fully-attributable to alcohol consumption - incur a substantial public health burden. Understanding the potential associations between structural factors, such as housing eviction, and alcohol-related harms could elucidate important opportunities for reducing this burden. Therefore, the objective of this review is to assess what current research shows about the associations between eviction and alcohol-related harms.

methodsUsing PubMed/Medline, APA PsycINFO, and Web of Science, we conducted a critical review of original research articles published in English January 1, 2000-March 8, 2024 that examined the associations between housing eviction and fully alcohol-attributable and acute partially alcohol-attributable harms. Of the 353 unique articles identified, 28 met inclusion criteria and three additional articles were identified through a descendancy search.

resultsThe search yielded 31 articles, with over half published since 2021. Current research documents positive associations between housing eviction and acute partially-alcohol attributable harms, specifically, suicide/suicide risk, intimate partner violence, and violent crime. Only six studies examined alcohol consumption or fully alcohol-attributable harms, such alcohol use disorder, with four of these studies finding a positive association.

conclusionsAlthough there is some evidence supporting positive associations between eviction and alcohol-related harms, particularly those that are acute and partially alcohol-attributable, substantial gaps remain. Recommendations for future research include: elucidating the role of alcohol consumption in amplifying risk of harm; further examining the association between eviction and fully alcohol-attributable harms, especially AUD; and, employing community-partnered, strengths-based, multilevel, and complex systems science approaches.
