Comorbid chronic pain and opioid misuse in youth: Knowns, unknowns, and implications for behavioral treatment.
Review in The American psychologist, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Chronic pain and opioid misuse occur in pediatric populations and can be associated with a range of negative adverse outcomes that may persist into adulthood. While the association between chronic pain, opioid prescribing, and opioid-related adverse consequences is reasonably well established in adults, the relation in pediatric patients is not well understood and the long-term impact of opioid exposure during childhood is yet to be fully revealed. The present review draws from the available literature on chronic and acute pediatric pain prevalence and treatment, opioid misuse, and adolescent substance use to address knowns and unknowns of comorbid pediatric chronic pain and opioid misuse. Additionally, gaps in knowledge regarding the prevalence and etiology of co-occurring chronic pain and opioid misuse in youth are identified. Hypothesized, modifiable risk factors associated with both pediatric pain and opioid misuse are considered. Due to a lack of empirically supported integrated treatments for comorbid chronic pain and opioid misuse in youth, this review examines the evidence base and best practices from both the chronic pain and opioid treatment literature to guide treatment recommendations for these comorbid conditions in youth. Recommendations are then provided to promote screening and mitigate risk of chronic pain and opioid misuse across a range of pediatric settings. Lastly, a comprehensive agenda to prevent and treat chronic pain and opioid misuse in adolescents and young adults is discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
