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

backgroundThe use of psychoactive substances is associated with the risk of somatic complications requiring treatment. Psychiatric consultations can be requested in this context.

aimDescription of physical and psychological complications of acute and chronic use of various drugs (except alcohol and benzodiazepines), and the procedure for consultations. MATERIALS: Narrative literature review.

resultsSevere physical and psychological complications of drug use can also occur with sporadic use. New psychoactive substances (NPS) in particular are known to have severe side effects compared to plant-based drugs with similar effects. Sporadic drug use, harmful use, and dependence must be differentiated diagnostically. Somatic complications of chronic use usually occur with dependent use, especially with intravenous drug administration. Depending on the individual case, recommendations for abstinence, safer use, or motivational interventions to take up a subsequent support program should be made. This requires precise knowledge of the local treatment network for drug users. Medication is used to alleviate withdrawal symptoms symptomatically. Potential complications must be taken into account during withdrawal treatment, e.g. withdrawal delirium and seizures in the case of GABA-ergic drugs. Maintenance treatment is the therapy of choice for opioid addicts.

conclusionAddiction psychiatry consultations should not only offer help in the management of current clinical problems, but should also show those affected the possibilities of further care and treatment.
