A brief telephone-delivered peer intervention to encourage enrollment in medication for opioid use disorder in individuals surviving an opioid overdose: Results from a randomized pilot trial.
Trial report in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
backgroundMedication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) can decrease the risk of opioid overdose (OOD) in individuals with opioid use disorder. Peer recovery support services (PRSS) are increasingly used to promote MOUD engagement but evidence of their efficacy is limited. This study's objective was to evaluate a single 20-minute telephone-delivered PRSS intervention for increasing MOUD enrollment and decreasing recurring OODs.
methodThis single-site, randomized controlled pilot trial enrolled adults, primarily recruited from a syringe service program, with an opioid-positive urine drug screen (UDS) reporting having been treated for an OOD within the past 6 months. Participants (N = 80) were randomized to PRSS (n = 40) or Control (n = 40) condition with all participants receiving personally-tailored OOD education and naloxone. Outcome measures obtained at 3 (n = 66), 6 (n = 58), and 12 (n = 44) months post-randomization included verified MOUD enrollment (primary), self-reported OOD, and opioid use assessed by self-report and UDS.
resultsThrough 12-month follow-up, 32.5 % of PRSS, compared to 17.5 % of Control participants enrolled in MOUD (X
conclusionsThe results suggest that further development and testing of this PRSS telephone intervention to encourage MOUD enrollment and reduce OOD may be warranted.
