Everyday and healthcare discrimination and polysubstance use among U.S. adults.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence reports, 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
Background: Interpersonal mistreatment in everyday life and healthcare settings are social determinants of health linked to a range of outcomes. However, their associations with adult polysubstance use-particularly at the population level-remain less understood. Methods: We analyzed survey data from the Results: The average EDS and HDS scores were 0.85 (SD=0.87) and 0.59 (SD=0.66); the prevalence of exclusive, dual, and poly use was 47.4%, 8.4%, and 0.6%. In adjusted models, increasing EDS was associated with higher odds of exclusive use (AOR: 1.05, 95% CI: 1.04-1.07), dual use (AOR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.10-1.15), and poly use (AOR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.13-1.30). Increasing HDS was inversely associated with exclusive use (AOR: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.90-0.92) and dual use (AOR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.93-0.98) and not associated with poly use. Conclusions: Interpersonal discrimination represents a clinically relevant and potentially modifiable social determinant of polysubstance use. Efforts to reduce everyday discrimination and improve patient experiences within healthcare settings may play an important role in preventing higher-risk substance use patterns and advancing equity in substance use-related outcomes.
