The Harnessing Online Peer Education (HOPE) Intervention for Reducing Prescription Drug Abuse: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of substance use, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
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
Social media technologies are newly emerging tools that can be used to address the growing prescription drug epidemic. In this study, we sought to determine the feasibility and acceptability of using social media to reduce complications of opioid use among patients experiencing chronic pain. Specifically, we evaluated the utility of the Harnessing Online Peer Education (HOPE) social media intervention to reduce the risk of addiction and overdose among non-cancer pain patients receiving chronic opioid therapy. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) patients receiving chronic opioid therapy and UCLA staff were invited to participate in interviews regarding the HOPE intervention. Questions focused on resources used to manage pain, the limitations and benefits of these approaches, and the likelihood of using an online community to reduce complications of opioid therapy. Using an open-coding process, three topics were identified for the patients: 1) online social support is important for improving outcomes, 2) offline social support is helpful for some patients but has limitations, and 3) a tailored, online peer support intervention is needed. Interviews with staff confirmed these results. The HOPE social media intervention and other online communities appear to be an acceptable technology for patients on chronic opioid therapy.
