They Will Never Forget How You Made Them Feel: Implementing Harm Reduction in the Perinatal Setting.
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 6 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
Harm reduction is a framework built upon respect for people who use drugs. Pregnancy is a priceless window of opportunity for positive change, when parents are driven to improve their health and well-being for their future child, and harm reduction can provide direction for this motivation. Perinatal harm reduction can include goals of abstinence, decreased use, safer use, or a goal unrelated to substance use, such as obtaining housing or employment. We engage in harm reduction, not only by promoting beneficial practices, but by eliminating harmful ones. Despite the science, effective program models, and overwhelming agreement that substance use disorder is a health condition and not deviant behavior, harm reduction programs for pregnant and parenting people are rare, and punitive treatment is the norm. To achieve equitable treatment for people with perinatal substance use disorder and protect the parent-infant dyad, we must stop harmful practices, respect the autonomy of people who use drugs, and address substance use disorders while increasing access to the social determinants of health.
