An Integrated Care Model for Pregnant and Postpartum Individuals Receiving Medication for Opioid Use Disorder.
Article in Journal of addiction medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
objectivesPerinatal opioid use disorder is increasing. Integrated obstetric/addiction care models likely optimize parent-infant dyad outcomes, but the ideal combination of services is unknown. This study (1) describes pregnancy-to-postpartum service utilization by people receiving buprenorphine at an integrated Obstetric/Addiction Clinic and (2) explores the association between service utilization and postpartum buprenorphine continuation.
methodsThis retrospective medical record review study uses research registry data from an outpatient Obstetric/Addiction Clinic. All patients are invited to participate in the research registry. For patients who consent, monthly medical record abstractions are conducted beginning with their first clinic visit to collect demographic, obstetric, and substance use disorder treatment variables. Present analyses included patients who delivered an infant between June 2019 and June 2021, started buprenorphine during pregnancy, and were receiving buprenorphine at delivery. Overall service utilization was the number of services (range 0-12) used between 28-weeks gestation and 12-weeks postpartum. Bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression assessed associations between service utilization and buprenorphine continuation.
resultsParticipants (n = 42) were primarily non-Latinx White (67%) with comorbid psychiatric diagnoses (95%). On average, participants used 6 services; prenatal care, mental health care, and postpartum contraception were most utilized. Overall, 69% of participants continued buprenorphine at 6 months postpartum. This did not differ by level of service utilization (bivariate [ P = 0.07], multivariable [ P = 0.16]).
conclusionIntegrated care with a harm reduction focus supports pregnancy-to-postpartum service utilization and buprenorphine continuation in a patient sample at high risk for medication for opioid use disorder discontinuation. Further work is needed to identify evidence-based methods to individualize integrated obstetric/addiction care.
