Non-fatal Overdose and Associated Factors Among People Who Use Opioids: Findings From a Cross-sectional Study.
Article in Journal of community health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
People who use opioids (PWUO) face a higher risk of overdose, often resulting in significant morbidity and mortality within this population. Understanding the factors that contribute to non-fatal overdose among PWUO is essential for developing effective prevention strategies. Thus, the present study aimed to report on the history of and factors associated with non-fatal opioid overdose among PWUO. From April to June 2024, 199 adults with a recent history of opioid use were enrolled in a cross-sectional study to evaluate past experiences of non-fatal overdose. Participants self-reported their socio-demographic characteristics, experiences with overall overdose, history of opioid use, alcohol consumption, and mental health symptoms. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the correlations between the outcome variables. The mean age of participants was 44.2 years (SD = 10.2). Approximately 49.2% of participants had experienced an opioid overdose at some point. Opioid dependence, alcohol use disorder, and depressive symptoms were reported by 83.9%, 65.8%, and 58.3% of participants, respectively. Older participants were less likely to experience an overdose (aOR: 0.9, 95% CI: 0.9-0.9). On the other hand, participants who were opioid-dependent (aOR: 4.4, 95% CI: 1.7-11.7) and those experiencing suicidal ideation (aOR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.0-3.5) were more likely to have ever experienced an opioid overdose. Our study demonstrated high rates of non-fatal opioid overdose among PWUO. This finding highlights the need for targeted harm reduction interventions and cross-sector collaboration to address opioid dependency and suicidal ideation, aiming to prevent overdoses in this population.
