Unfilled prescriptions: Surveying patients' experiences with buprenorphine treatment in Massachusetts before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in The American journal on addictions, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 AND
objectivesWe explored potential challenges to accessing office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) with buprenorphine during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsUsing Facebook advertisements, we recruited a sample of N = 72 participants and conducted four repeated-measures analysis of variance comparing ratings of participants' abilities to access aspects of OBOT treatment.
resultsParticipants reported increased difficulty filling buprenorphine prescriptions during the pandemic than before, p = .011, partial η DISCUSSION, CONCLUSIONS, AND SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first investigation to report unfilled prescriptions during the pandemic and an association with opioid use. Unfilled prescriptions may contribute to relapse and partially explain increased overdose deaths during COVID-19.
