Emergency Department Initiation of Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder: Current Status, and Future Potential.
Article in CNS drugs, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Patients experiencing the consequences of opioid use often present to the emergency department (ED) at times of crisis, such as following overdose or when in withdrawal. This highlights the important role of the ED in recognizing opioid use disorder and engaging these patients into ongoing treatment. Given the limited ability of the healthcare system to provide timely addiction treatment, initiation of therapy in the ED, with referral to long-term care, is associated with improved outcomes. The primary evidence-based treatment used in EDs for this indication is buprenorphine. Although clinicians may find the initiation of buprenorphine therapy daunting, it is straightforward and well-tolerated, and many of the barriers are surmountable. This article addresses these barriers, which include stigma, complicated pharmacology, and confusing regulations, and provides a basis for the use of buprenorphine in acute care clinical practice.
