Review in Journal of substance abuse treatment, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07121296 (Screen, Treat and Retain People With Primary Meth Use Disorder at MMT Clinics), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers.

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.

Abstract

objectivesTo assess the severity of methamphetamine use among methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) patients in Vietnam with opioid use disorder and concurrent methamphetamine use, and to identify risk factors associated with higher severity of methamphetamine use.

methodsWe used survey data and medical record abstractions from 428 people with opioid use disorder who also use methamphetamine while partaking in methadone treatment in five clinics in Hanoi, Vietnam. We used multinomial logistic regression to assess other risk factors and problems associated with high methamphetamine use severity.

resultsThose who reported injecting heroin in the past 3 months (AOR = 4.05, 95% CI [1.30, 12.55], p = 0.02), having a longer history of lifetime heroin use (AOR = 1.13, 95% CI [1.03, 1.24], p < 0.01), and having higher cravings (AOR = 1.97, 95% CI [1.31, 2.98], p < 0.01) and fatigue (AOR = 1.25, 95% CI [0.96, 1.61], p = 0.09) related to methamphetamine withdrawal had greater odds of high methamphetamine use severity. One of five clinics had a significantly higher percentage of methamphetamine use severity than others.

conclusionSuccessful MMT in patients with opioid use disorder in Vietnam may additionally require methamphetamine-focused screening and intervention.
