Unusual Route of Buprenorphine Administration: An Alternative Approach for Bypassing Adverse Drug Reactions.

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
Tramadol abuse is a critical and growing health concern in Asia. In Iran, tramadol abuse arises most commonly as a result of self-medicating that leads to tramadol dependence. Buprenorphine, a partial agonist of mu opioid receptors approved for the treatment of tramadol dependence, is administered sublingually due to its extensive first-pass metabolism and resulting low oral bioavailability. A 50-year-old man presenting with tramadol dependence after self-medicating for chronic low back pain experienced adverse reactions to a minimal dosage (0.8 mg) of sublingual buprenorphine. He was treated successfully with a modified protocol composed of swallowing sublingual tablets (0.2 mg/day initially, which increased to 0.2 mg every 12 hours during maintenance therapy). This unusual case suggests that swallowing buprenorphine sublingual tablets may prevent adverse effects and reduce the rate of treatment dropout.
