Communication between patients, peers, and care providers through a mobile health intervention supporting medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.
Article in Patient education and counseling, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
introductionOur team developed the HOPE app as a clinic-based platform to support patients receiving medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder. We investigated the app's two communication features: an anonymous community message board (CMB) and secure messaging between patients and their clinic team.
methodsThe HOPE (Heal Overcome Persist Endure) app was piloted with patients and MAT providers. Text from the CMB and messaging were downloaded and de-identified. Content analysis was performed using iteratively developed codebooks with team consensus.
resultsThe pilot study enrolled 28 participants; 25 were "members" (patients) and 3 were providers (physician, nurse, social worker). Of member-generated CMB posts, 45% described the poster's state of mind, including positive and negative emotions, 47% conveyed support and 8% asked for support. Members' secure messages to the team included 52% medical, 45% app-related, and 8% social topics. Provider's messages contained information exchange (90%) and relationship-building (36%). DISCUSSION: Through the CMB, members shared emotions and social support with their peers. Through secure messaging, members addressed medical and social needs with their care team, used primarily for information exchange but also relationship-building. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The HOPE app addresses communication needs for patients in MAT and can support them in recovery.
