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

Introduction: About 2.7 million U.S. households face an eviction filing each year. The effect of eviction policy on substance use disorder (SUD) treatment is uncertain. Methods: We used IQVIA all-payer claims, Jan 2020-Dec 2021, in a difference-in-differences design. Phase 1 compared states where moratoria expired March-August 2020 with states that kept protections. Phase 2 examined the August 2021 end of the federal moratorium, contrasting states with ongoing state moratoria vs none. The population was people with a mental health or SUD diagnosis. Outcomes were state-week counts of unique patients with outpatient SUD visits, inpatient SUD stays, medications for opioid or alcohol use disorder, and opioid use disorder (OUD)-specific outpatient and inpatient care. Results: Ending moratoria was associated with more patients receiving outpatient SUD care: +3.3% (95% CI -0.5% to 7.2%; Conclusion: The return of eviction risk coincided with greater use of clinic-based SUD services but not hospital care. Housing policy may shift where and how people seek SUD treatment.
