Opioid Use in the Twenty First Century: Similarities and Differences Across National Borders.
Article in Current treatment options in psychiatry, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The global prevalence in the use of opiates and opioids has remained stable, though there were some unprecedented recent increases in opioid use and associated mortality and morbidity in the United States. Internationally, there is a strong tendency for consolidation of drug treatment strategies in favor of more systematic, structured and balanced approaches to regional and national drug policies. However, there are considerable differences in the scope, focus, and implementation of national drug policies and the political context is shaping drug prevention, treatment and rehabilitation efforts to an extent not typically observed in other public health domains. As a result, though in theory, there is a considerable multi-national agreement about the efficacy and effectiveness of different treatment modalities for opioid dependence, in practice, there are striking differences among different world regions and countries in the degree of implementation of these treatment modalities into clinical practice. Such discrepancies between theory and practice are observed even in high-income countries such as the United States and European Union member states, where evidence-based treatment modalities are still not well implemented into clinical practice. Despite the lack of evidence-based support for the role of detoxification as a stand-alone treatment for opioid use disorders, it appears to be the most widely used intervention for opioid use across the world.
