Opioid agonist treatment initiation and linkage for hospitalized patients seen by a substance use disorder consultation service.
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 12 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
Background: Facilitating opioid agonist treatment (OAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD) is an important role of hospital substance use disorder (SUD) consultation services. In the Methods: This secondary analysis examined hospital-based OAT initiation (pre-randomization) and community-based OAT linkage (post-discharge) among NavSTAR trial participants with OUD ( Results: Overall, 57.6% initiated OAT during hospitalization (36.3% methadone, 21.3% buprenorphine). Compared to participants not initiating OAT, participants who received methadone were more likely to be female (Relative Risk Ratio [RRR]=2.05, 95% CI=1.11, 3.82, Conclusions: OAT initiation differed by sex, race, and housing status. Hospital-based OAT initiation and patient navigation were independently associated with linkage to community-based OAT. Hospitalization is a reachable moment to begin OAT to alleviate withdrawal and facilitate treatment continuity post-discharge.
