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: The opioid crisis continues to affect communities across the US, with significant sex- and race-based disparities in outcomes. Limited research has explored how these disparities influence hospitalization outcomes after opioid overdose. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the National Inpatient Sample database. Opioid overdose codes specific to opioid poisoning were used. We analyzed in-hospital outcomes including mortality, complications, and healthcare utilization across sex and racial groups. Results: Among 479,175 hospitalizations for opioid overdose, males accounted for 52% and had higher mortality than females (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09-1.17; Conclusion: Our study highlights persistent sex and racial disparities in inpatient opioid overdose outcomes, with males and White patients showing higher mortality.
