Perinatal Opioid Use Disorder Research, Race, and Racism: A Scoping Review.
Article in Pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
contextRacial/ethnic inequities are well documented in both maternal-infant health and substance use disorder treatment outcomes.
objectiveTo systematically review research on maternal-infant dyads affected by opioid use disorder (OUD) to evaluate for racial/ethnic disparities in health utilization or outcomes and critically assess the reporting and inclusion of race/ethnicity data. DATA SOURCES: Peer-reviewed literature in MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science from 2000 to 2020. STUDY SELECTION: Research reporting health utilization and outcomes data on dyads affected by OUD during pregnancy through the infant's first birthday. DATA EXTRACTION: We extracted data on race/ethnicity, study exposures/outcomes, how race/ethnicity data were analyzed, how authors discussed findings associated with race/ethnicity, and whether racism was mentioned as an explanation for findings.
resultsOf 2023 articles reviewed, 152 quantitative and 17 qualitative studies were included. Among quantitative studies, 66% examined infant outcomes (n = 101). Three articles explicitly focused on evaluating racial/ethnic differences among dyads. Among quantitative studies, 112 mentioned race/ethnicity, 63 performed analyses assessing for differences between exposure groups, 27 identified racial/ethnic differences, 22 adjusted outcomes for race/ethnicity in multivariable analyses, and 11 presented adjusted models stratified by race/ethnicity. None of the qualitative studies addressed the role that race, ethnicity, or racism may have had on the presented themes.
conclusionsFew studies were designed to evaluate racial/ethnic inequities among maternal-infant dyads affected by OUD. Data on race/ethnicity have been poorly reported in this literature. To achieve health equity across perinatal OUD, researchers should prioritize the inclusion of marginalized groups to better address the role that structural racism plays.
