Genetic polymorphisms in the opioid receptor delta 1 (OPRD1) gene are associated with methadone dose in methadone maintenance treatment for heroin dependence.
Trial report in Journal of human genetics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Delta opioid receptor (DOR) is well known to be involved in heroin dependence. This study tested the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the opioid receptor delta 1 (OPRD1) gene coding region are associated with treatment responses in a methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) cohort in Taiwan. Three hundred forty-four MMT patients were recruited. Diastolic/systolic blood pressure, heart rate, methadone dosage, and plasma concentrations of methadone were recorded. Twenty-five SNPs located within the OPRD1 genetic region were selected and genotyped from the genomic DNA of all 344 participants. After pairwise tagger analyses, tagger SNP rs204047 showed a significant association with methadone dosage (P = 0.0019), and tagger SNPs rs204047 and rs797397 were significantly associated with plasma R, S-methadone concentrations (P < 0.0006) in patients tested negative in the urine morphine test, which indicated patients with a better response to MMT. The major genotype carriers showed a higher methadone dosage and higher plasma concentrations of R, S-methadone than the minor genotype carriers. The results indicated that OPRD1 genetic variants were associated with methadone dosage and methadone plasma concentration in MMT patients with a negative morphine test result.
