Use and Misuse of Opioid Pain Medications by Pregnant and Nonpregnant Women.
Article in Pain management nursing : official journal of the American Society of Pain Management Nurses, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThe use and misuse of opioid pain medication is a public health problem that has extended to pregnant women. Assessing both the use and misuse of opioid pain medication had been limited.
aimsThe aim of the present study was to disseminate data from a national sample of pregnant and nonpregnant women, tracking the rate and predictors of opioid use and misuse.
methodsIn 2015 the National Survey on Drug Use and Health expanded the assessment of opioid pain reliever use and misuse. Here, a secondary analysis of 2 years of National Survey on Drug Use and Health expanded data assesses the use and misuse of opioids in pregnant and nonpregnant women ranging in age from 18 to 44 years (N = 46,229).
resultsOpioid medication use was reported by 31.89% of pregnant women and 38.87% of nonpregnant women. Race and pregnancy status were associated with risk, with pregnancy being protective and White women having significantly higher risk.
conclusionsThe high rates of use and misuse of opioids in pregnant women underscores a critical need for screening for opioid use and misuse, particularly among White women. Pregnancy provides a unique window of opportunity to educate, screen, and provide treatment.
