Drug-Induced Deaths and Non-Fatal Poisonings in Youth-Associations With Household Adversities and Out-Of-Home Care.

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
introductionDrug-induced deaths have increased in many countries, representing one of the most common causes of death among young people, including in Finland. More information is needed to understand the factors leading to these preventable incidents. We examined whether household adversities (parental substance use disorder (SUD), parental psychiatric disorder and long-term financial difficulties) and out-of-home care (OHC) were associated with drug-induced deaths or non-fatal poisonings.
methodsPopulation-level data from Finnish national health care and social welfare registers was used. Two cohorts born in 1991 (n = 65,103) and 1997 (n = 58,998) were followed up from birth until the end of 2019. The outcome was drug-induced death/non-fatal drug poisoning. Mortality hazards were estimated using a competing events regression model.
resultsYouths experiencing household adversities (HR 1.60 for long-term income support) or OHC (HR 9.91) encountered a drug-induced death/non-fatal drug poisoning more often than others. Household adversities increased the hazard of drug-induced death/non-fatal poisoning, especially among those who had never been placed in OHC (HR 1.70 for parental SUD; 2.45 for long-term income support), whereas no statistically significant association was found among those who had experienced household adversities but had been placed in OHC. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsHousehold and other childhood adversities as well as substance use often form a complex and intertwined set of problems resulting in poor outcomes in young people's lives. Early, accessible and effective interventions are needed for families facing such challenges. Sufficient resources and needs-based services should be guaranteed to secure safe and healthy development for children with adverse childhood experiences.
