Commentary on "The More Things Change: Buprenorphine/Naloxone Diversion Continues While Treatment is Inaccessible".
Article in Journal of addiction medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
: This commentary puts the recent findings by Carroll et al into historical perspective, noting both the long-held problem of medication diversion when pharmacotherapy access is limited, and the ways in which medication diversion concerns and regulations help create those treatment access barriers. Recent efforts to bridge the treatment gap, including increases in Federal funding through the 21st Century Cures Act and expanding the buprenorphine patient cap and scope of eligible providers under the Comprehensive Addiction Recovery Act (CARA) will likely help; however, important structural barriers remain. Health insurance barriers, including limited Medicaid coverage, combined with stigma against pharmacotherapy persist, which likely means that people in need of treatment will continue to self-treat their symptoms with diverted medications, such as the buprenorphine/naloxone use noted by Carroll and colleagues.
