Factors Associated with Sustained Remission among Chronic Opioid Users.
Article in Addiction & health, 2018. 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
backgroundChronic opioid use is a major public health problem with significant morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with sustained remission among a sample of Iranian chronic opioid users in Shiraz, Iran.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study to evaluate sustained remission among chronic opiate users aged 20-60 years. Participants included two groups: 365 people who have been in sustained remission for the past year, and 187 persons who did not achieve remission for the past one year. Then, demographic and factors related to drug use pattern and previous treatments were compared between two groups. Pearson chi-square test was used for univariate analysis and backward stepwise logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (AORs).
findingsOur findings showed that sustained remission was associated with Narcotic Anonymous (NA) participation [AOR = 3.28, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.19-4.89, P < 0.001], male gender (AOR = 2.53, 95% CI: 1.45-4.43, P = 0.001), younger age of onset (AOR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.03-2.58, P = 0.037), higher total years of opioid use (AOR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.42-3.19, P < 0.001), no history of imprisonment (AOR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.16-3.85, P = 0.015), and family support (AOR = 2.58, 95% CI: 1.33-5.01, P = 0.005).
conclusionParticipation in self-help groups can be a suitable alternative in predicting sustained remission among chronic opiate users. Chronic opioid users should be encouraged by the physicians who are involved in the treatment of drug addiction to participate in NA programs.
