Modafinil Does Not Reduce Cocaine Use in Methadone-Maintained Individuals.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: There are no approved medications for the treatment of cocaine use disorder (CUD). Modafinil, a cognitive-enhancer with weak stimulant-like effects, has shown promise in initial studies as a treatment for CUD. Its potential efficacy has not been examined in individuals dually dependent on cocaine and opioids. Methods: This study examined the efficacy of modafinil, in combination with contingency management (CM), for reducing cocaine and opioid use and improving cognitive function in methadone-stabilized individuals with opioid and cocaine dependence. We conducted a 17-week, double-blind, randomized controlled trial in which participants were randomized to one of four conditions: 1) modafinil + CM; 2) modafinil + yoked-control (YC); 3) placebo +CM; or 4) placebo + YC. Additionally, all subjects received platform treatments of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and methadone. While the original planned sample size was N=160, a total of 91 participants were randomized. The two primary cocaine use outcomes were percentage of urine specimens positive for cocaine and percent of days of self-reported abstinence from cocaine during treatment. Cognitive function, opioid use, and secondary cocaine use outcomes were also considered. Results: Modafinil was well-tolerated with minimal reports of adverse effects. Modafinil was no more effective than placebo in reducing cocaine or opioid use or improving cognitive performance. Conclusions: In the context of a trial with robust control conditions and platform treatments, findings did not provide support for the efficacy of modafinil treatment for the treatment of CUD in methadone-stabilized individuals with dual opioid and cocaine dependence.
