Burden of Disease Due to Consumption of Alcohol and Other Drugs in Colombia, 2016-2022: A Subnational Regional Analysis.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
Alcohol and psychoactive substance use represent a major burden for global public health, increasing the risk of non-communicable diseases, violence, road traffic injuries, dependence, and mental disorders, and generating impacts on productivity and social welfare. This study aimed to estimate the burden of disease attributable to alcohol and other psychoactive substances in the departments of Colombia from 2016 to 2022. A burden-of-disease study was conducted using the Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) indicator, following the methodology of the World Health Organization Global Health Estimates. Official morbidity and mortality databases were used. An estimated 236,154.42 DALYs were attributable to alcohol and psychoactive substance use in Colombia during the study period, increasing from 14,158.7 DALYs in 2016 to 40,190.7 DALYs in 2022. The burden was heterogeneous across departments, with values above 1000 DALYs in Quindío (1779.5), Nariño (1624.3), and Norte de Santander (1008.0) and below 132 DALYs in La Guajira, Casanare, and Vaupés. Men accounted for 73.5% of total DALYs. The mean age of morbidity records associated with alcohol and psychoactive substance use disorders was 30.67 years in men and 32.37 years in women. The burden associated with psychoactive substance use is increasing in Colombia, with differences by sex and department of residence.
