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: People with substance use disorders (SUDs) are at higher risk for infectious diseases (IDs). Co-locating ID screening services within inpatient SUD treatment programs may decrease barriers to care; however, the impact of such screening has not been evaluated. Methods: We conducted an effectiveness study evaluating comprehensive ID screening within an 18-bed inpatient SUD program. During usual care (September 2021-June 2022), ID screening was completed at the discretion of the admitting psychiatrist. During the intervention (September 2022-June 2023), an ID-trained nurse met with patients to support completion of screening for HIV, viral hepatitis (hepatitis A [HAV], B [HBV], and C [HCV]), latent tuberculosis [LTBI], and sexually transmitted infections [STI]. Hepatitis vaccinations, HIV preexposure prophylaxis, and/or ID treatments were offered during admission. Results: Demographics were similar between the groups (n = 261, usual care; n = 207, intervention). Screening for ≥1 ID increased significantly during the intervention (60.2% vs 90.8%, Conclusions: Comprehensive ID screening within inpatient SUD programs can increase uptake of testing and facilitate low-barrier delivery of preventive and therapeutic treatment.
