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

Objectives: Addiction to alcohol, tobacco, and/or other drugs (ATOD) remains a leading cause of cancer and a contributor to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, disproportionately affecting marginalized and minoritized groups. Social and structural inequities including limited healthcare access, employment instability, inadequate housing, and environmental stressors increase these risks. A diverse scientific workforce is necessary to mitigate ATOD-related health disparities; yet underrepresentation persists in ATOD research. Helping Everyone Achieve a LifeTime of Health-Future Addiction Scientist Training (HEALTH-FAST) is a NIDA funded research education program that aims to reduce ATOD-related disparities by training future scholars in addiction science and health equity. Methods: From 2021-2023, 8 Doctoral Scholars, 2 Postdoctoral Fellows, and 6 Early-Stage Investigators (44% Black, 19% Hispanic, 63% women; 37.5% disadvantaged and/or first generation) were trained in the HEALTH-FAST Program. Results: The program achieved its objectives, showing gains in research knowledge (80% increase from baseline to program exit for Doctoral Scholars and 40% for Postdoctoral Fellows and Early-Stage Investigators, respectively), research self-efficacy (37% and 30% increases, respectively), and research preparation (47% and 35% increases, respectively). Scholars rated ATOD research presentations, professional development seminars, and other programming highly. Program satisfaction for both groups fell between 9 and 10; 10 = completely satisfied. As of April 2025, scholars produced 160 peer-reviewed publications and secured 41 grants. Conclusions: HEALTH-FAST can serve as a model research education program to train historically excluded scholars and diversify the ATOD health equity research workforce to address related health disparities.
