Promoting research engagement among women with addiction: Impact of recovery peer support in a pilot randomized mixed-methods study.
Trial report in Contemporary clinical trials, 2023. 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
objectiveThe impact of involving peers on research engagement is largely unknown. The purpose of this pilot study, a part of a larger research, was to evaluate the impact of recovery peer involvement as a study team member on recruitment/retention of persons with lived experience of SUD during pregnancy and to assess participant perceptions about factors impacting engagement of this population and their children in research, especially brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
methodsThis study randomly assigned participants (1:1) to either Peer or Research Coordinator (RC) arms. Eligible participants were English-speaking adult, non-pregnant females with lived experience of substance use during pregnancy. Certified Peers were recruited word of mouth and completed study-specific training. The impact of trained, certified Peer versus RC on research engagement was assessed by between-arm comparison of retention rates. Quantitative and qualitative survey data on participant perceptions were summarized.
resultsThirty-eight individuals enrolled into the study (19 Peer, 19 RC). Peer versus RC had 7.2 times greater odds of completing Visit 2 (Fisher's exact test; 95%CI: 1.2, 81.8; p = 0.03). The majority (70.4%) of respondents identified being accompanied by a peer and getting a tour of the MRI facility/procedures as 'extremely' helpful for improving participant comfort and engagement in future studies. Motivators of future research engagement also included creating a trusting, supportive, non-judgmental research environment, and linkages to treatment and other services.
conclusionFindings support the notion that peers involved as research team members could boost research engagement among persons with substance use during pregnancy.
