Associations of community socioeconomic factors and opioid use disorder across an urban-to-rural spectrum in Pennsylvania: an electronic health record-based case-control study.

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
purposeTo elucidate the role of community socioeconomic conditions in creating opioid-related risk environments, we assessed community-level socioeconomic measures in association with opioid use disorder (OUD) across a diverse geography.
methodsWe conducted a case-control study using medical records (2012-2020) from a Pennsylvania health system to identify cases of OUD (n = 14,674) and controls (n = 58,696; frequency-matched on age, sex, year, medical record duration). Residential addresses were used to assign community-level measures: community socioeconomic deprivation (CSD), high proportional housing costs (HPHC), population in service occupations (PSO), and community credit score (CCS). Logistic regression analyzed associations of community type (city census tracts [CCT], boroughs, townships) and community socioeconomic features (stratified by community type) with OUD, adjusting for demographics and individual-level socioeconomic status.
resultsCCT or borough (versus township) residence was associated with higher OUD odds. CSD, HPHC, and CCS were associated with OUD across community types; PSO was only associated in CCTs. The highest (versus lowest) level of CSD was associated (odds ratio, 95% CI) with higher OUD odds among individuals in townships (1.18 [1.03, 1.36]), boroughs (1.34 [1.09, 1.63]), and CCTs (1.46 [1.13, 1.88]). "Good" (versus "high fair") CCS was associated with lower odds in townships (0.78 [0.71, 0.86]), boroughs (0.56 [0.41, 0.77]), and CCTs (0.73 [0.44, 1.22]).
conclusionFindings indicate poor community socioeconomic conditions are related to higher OUD risk, highlight the value of research regarding opioid-related risk environments, and suggest structural and policy interventions, such as vocational training and rent subsidies, as important for addressing the root causes of OUD.
