Medications for opioid use disorder during pregnancy: Access and continuity in a state women's prison facility, 2016-2019.

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
backgroundAlthough medications to treat opioid use disorder (MOUD) are the standard of care during pregnancy, there are many potential gaps in the cascade of care for pregnant people experiencing incarceration.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of pregnant people with opioid use disorder incarcerated in a Southeastern women's prison from 2016 to 2019. The primary outcomes were access to MOUD during incarceration and continuity in the community. We used descriptive statistics to summarize aspects of our sample and logistic regression to identify predictors of MOUD receipt during incarceration.
resultsOf the 279 pregnant people with OUD included in the analysis, only 40.1% (n = 112) received MOUD during incarceration, including 67 (59.8%) who received methadone and 45 (40.1%) who received buprenorphine. Less than one-third of the participants were referred to a community MOUD provider (n = 83, 30%) on return to the community. Significant predictors of MOUD receipt included medium/close custody level during incarceration, incarceration during the latter portion of the study period, pre-incarceration heroin use, and receipt of pre-incarceration MOUD.
conclusionsAlthough prisons can serve as an important site of retention in MOUD for some pregnant people, there were substantial gaps in initiation of MOUD and retention in MOUD among pregnant people with OUD imprisoned in the Southeast during the study period.
