Opioid use in pregnancy: An emerging health crisis.
Review in Obstetric medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Opioid use in pregnancy has increased in parallel to the opioid crisis observed in the general population. Rising rates of peripartum opioid use pose a significant public health concern for both mothers and their children. Pregnancy also represents a unique opportunity for healthcare providers to screen women for opioid use disorder and engage them in appropriate care. In the present review, we describe patterns of opioid use in pregnancy and how this relates to maternal and neonatal health outcomes. We also examine screening for and treatment of opioid use disorder in pregnancy, neonatal outcomes following maternal opioid use, and breastfeeding recommendations for women taking opioids postpartum.
