The Impacts of Social Support and Relationship Characteristics on Commitment to Sobriety Among People in Opioid Use Disorder Recovery.
Article in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveDespite evidence that social support is beneficial for people living with opioid use disorders (OUDs), research has yet to investigate whether social support within certain relationships is more or less effective. The current study examined whether social support, relationship closeness with a disclosure partner, and/or the history of joint substance use between participants and disclosure partners affect commitment to sobriety among people receiving medications for OUD.
methodOver a period of 3 months (two time points), participants taking OUD medications took part in a mixed-methods egocentric social network study exploring their relationships with disclosure partners before and following OUD disclosure (i.e., first telling a disclosure partner about one's OUD history or treatment). Data included 131 disclosure events/relationships clustered within 106 participants.
resultsGreater relationship closeness was associated with increased commitment to sobriety over time. Further, significant interactions were found between social support and disclosure partner closeness, partner closeness and history of joint substance use, and social support and history of joint substance use. Higher social support was associated with greater commitment to sobriety among those disclosing to close partners. In contrast, receiving social support or disclosing to a close partner with whom there was a history of joint substance use was associated with decreased commitment to sobriety.
conclusionsFindings highlight the complexities of social support among people in treatment for OUD and demonstrate that relationship closeness and a history of joint substance use with a disclosure partner may be important factors to consider before disclosure.
