Setting of Alcohol Use Disorder Diagnosis Among Women Enrolled in Medicare.
Article in Psychiatric services (Washington, D.C.), 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
objectiveThe authors assessed the setting of an initial diagnosis of alcohol use disorder among Medicare-enrolled women.
methodsUsing 2016-2022 Medicare fee-for-service claims, the authors identified the first alcohol use disorder diagnosis for women ages 18-64 years (N=116,226) and ≥65 years (N=264,857) and examined the diagnosis setting. For diagnoses during a hospitalization, the authors determined how often alcohol use disorder was the principal diagnosis.
resultsAbout two-thirds of women ages 18-64 and ≥65 years received an initial diagnosis in a hospital or emergency department. Only 9%-14% of diagnoses were by primary care physicians and 2%-5% by behavioral health specialists in community-based practices. Alcohol use disorder was the principal diagnosis for ≤10% of hospitalizations in which a patient's condition was initially diagnosed, suggesting that it was often identified during acute treatment for other conditions.
conclusionsThese results suggest the need for enhanced efforts to encourage early identification and management of alcohol use disorder outside acute care settings.
