Hospitalized opioid-dependent patients: Exploring predictors of buprenorphine treatment entry and retention after discharge.
Trial report in The American journal on addictions, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04650386 (Enhancing Office-based Buprenorphine Treatment), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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

Abstract
objectivesFew studies have explored predictors of entry into and retention in buprenorphine treatment following linkage from an acute medical hospitalization.
methodsThis secondary analysis of a completed clinical trial focuses on medically hospitalized, opioid-dependent patients (n = 72) who were randomized to an intervention including buprenorphine induction and dose stabilization during hospitalization followed by post-discharge transition to office-based buprenorphine treatment (OBOT). Predictors included demographics, days hospitalized, prior buprenorphine/methadone treatment, PTSD symptoms, social support, and readiness for drug use cessation. Outcome variables were treatment entry and retention (number of days in OBOT).
resultsPrevious buprenorphine treatment, more days hospitalized, and higher PTSD symptoms predicted OBOT entry. Prior treatment, older age, and non-minority status were associated with a higher mean number of days in OBOT.
conclusionsOBOT may appeal to patients who have tried buprenorphine in other settings. Linking hospitalized patients to OBOT may improve utilization of addiction treatment. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Prior substance treatment, longer hospital stay, and mental health should be examined in future linkage studies. (Am J Addict 2017;26:667-672).
