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

Background: Hospitalizations among people who use drugs (PWUD) are increasing, and addiction consult services (ACS) are an emerging best practice for improving care. Methods: We conducted a web-based needs assessment survey of physicians, advanced practice providers (APP), and nurses at a Philadelphia academic hospital in March 2023 before implementing an ACS. We assessed knowledge gaps, barriers to care, and perceived service needs. Results: Of 472 clinicians surveyed, 236 responded (50% response rate). Participants felt most prepared to assess withdrawal and diagnose or recognize substance use disorders (SUDs) but lacked confidence in care linkage and harm reduction. Reported barriers included patient social needs, resource availability, and lack of expert consultation. Conclusions: While most participants agreed that SUDs are treatable, many reported compromised patient care due to inadequate support as well as burnout associated with caring for PWUD. Future work should examine whether ACSs address the perceived barriers to care for hospitalized PWUD while supporting clinicians.
