1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The incidence of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) has increased substantially in the setting of the opioid epidemic, a major public health problem in the United States. At present, NOWS has commonly used assessment and treatment protocols, but new protocols have questioned old practices. However, because of limited access to opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment and socioeconomic factors, many pregnant (and postpartum) women with OUD do not receive treatment. The pathophysiology of NOWS is not completely understood, although limited research studies have been conducted in humans and animals to better understand its etiology. Moreover, there is evidence that epigenetic and genetic factors play a role in the development of NOWS, but further study is needed. Animal models have suggested that there are deleterious effects of
