A delta-opioid receptor genetic variant is associated with abstinence prior to and during cocaine dependence treatment.

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
introductionAn intronic polymorphism in the delta-opioid receptor gene (OPRD1) was previously associated with cocaine dependence in African-Americans. However, it is not known if the polymorphism (rs678849) is associated with dependence-related phenotypes within the cocaine dependent population.
methodsCocaine and alcohol dependent subjects were randomized to either topiramate or placebo. Abstinence from cocaine use was confirmed by urine drug screens for benzoylecgonine three times per week. Cocaine withdrawal and craving were assessed at randomization using the Cocaine Selective Severity Assessment (CSSA) and Minnesota Cocaine Craving Scale (MCCS), respectively. Subjects were also interviewed using the Addiction Severity Index (ASI). Genotype at rs678849 was determined for 105 African-American subjects and compared to cocaine abstinence, as well as scores for CSSA, MCCS, and ASI.
resultsAfrican-American patients with the C/T or T/T genotypes (n=40) were more likely to be abstinent at the first urine drug screen and more likely to be abstinent for the week prior to randomization compared to patients with the C/C genotype (n=65). Subjects carrying the T allele were also more likely to have abstinent weeks over the course of the trial compared to those with the C/C genotype (RR=1.88, 95% CI=1.59-2.22, p=0.0035). No effects of rs678849 genotype on withdrawal, craving, or addiction severity were observed.
conclusionsA polymorphism in OPRD1 appears to be associated with both cocaine dependence and cocaine use during treatment in African-Americans. Follow-up studies to confirm the effect on cocaine use are warranted.
