Opioid Use Disorder and Overdose in the First Year Postpartum: A Rapid Scoping Review and Implications for Future Research.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
objectiveOpioid overdose is a leading cause of maternal mortality, yet limited attention has been given to the consequences of opioid use disorder (OUD) in the year following delivery when most drug-related deaths occur. This article provides an overview of the literature on OUD and overdose in the first year postpartum and provides recommendations to advance maternal opioid research. APPROACH: A rapid scoping review of peer-reviewed research (2010-2021) on OUD and overdose in the year following delivery was conducted in PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases. This article discusses existing research, remaining knowledge gaps, and methodological considerations needed.
resultsSeven studies were included. Medication for OUD (MOUD) was the only identified factor associated with a reduction in overdose rates. Key literature gaps include the role of mental health disorders and co-occurring substance use, as well as interpersonal, social, and environmental contexts that may contribute to postpartum opioid problems and overdose.
conclusionThere remains a limited understanding of why women in the first year postpartum are particularly vulnerable to opioid overdose. Recommendations include: (1) identifying subgroups of women with OUD at highest risk for postpartum overdose, (2) assessing opioid use, overdose, and risks throughout the first year postpartum, (3) evaluating the effect of co-occurring physical and mental health conditions and substance use disorders, (4) investigating the social and contextual determinants of opioid use and overdose after delivery, (5) increasing MOUD retention and treatment engagement postpartum, and (6) utilizing rigorous and multidisciplinary research methods to understand and prevent postpartum overdose.
