Emergency Department Revisits Among Youth Compared With Adults in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
Observational study in Pediatric emergency care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveOur objective was to compare the association between age and emergency department revisits by comparing youth and adults in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
methodsThe study is a retrospective observational cohort study using administrative data from all patients presenting with substance use disorder at Health Sciences North from January 1, 2018 to August 31, 2023. Patients were placed in 3 groups: under 18, 18 to 24 years old, and over 25 years old. The outcome was 30-day revisits from index date and total time to first revisit from index date.
resultsKaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed significant differences in emergency department revisit probabilities across age groups (log-rank P < 0.0001), with youth under 18 showing a higher risk of 30-day revisits [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.10-1.44] compared with adults, while transitional-aged youth showed no significant difference (adjusted HR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.89-1.24). In contrast, both youth (adjusted HR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.63-0.86) and transitional-aged youth (adjusted HR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.72-0.87) had significantly lower risks of revisits beyond 30 days compared with adults.
conclusionsYouth under 18 with substance use disorder had a higher risk of 30-day ED revisits compared with adults, but a lower risk of revisits beyond 30 days, highlighting the need for targeted short-term interventions in this population.
