What Is Known about Substance Use in Hawai'i: A Scoping Review.
Article in Hawai'i journal of health & social welfare, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Substance use is a significant public health and social welfare issue in the state of Hawai'i. Literature and data about the most affected populations and geographies in Hawai'i are scattered. A scoping review was conducted to assess the extent of available information about substance use in Hawai'i. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Checklist was used as a guide, using 3 databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL for publication years 2010-2023. A manual search was conducted to identify other reports. A total of 21 documents were included in the synthesis. The synthesis revealed a large focus on substance use among Native Hawaiians and adolescents. The granularity of geographical data was found to be at island-level and the 3 most common substances reported were alcohol, marijuana, and methamphetamine. There were data for a wide range of racial and ethnic groups, which is unique due to the diversity in the state of Hawai'i. Most documents used national datasets for reporting substance use in Hawai'i. The findings identified gaps in the literature that can be filled by future research such as focusing on the rise of substance use among older adults, disaggregating data on Pacific Islander populations in Hawai'i, reporting substance use data in geographical areas smaller than island-level, increasing the collection of data on groups that have a high risk for health problems or are underserved by health services, and intensifying collection of data about fentanyl use in Hawai'i.
