1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: This study sought to explore the potential role of peer-led online communities to increase use of medications for opioid use disorder. Methods: From January through March 2020, participants with opioid use disorder and their family members/friends were recruited from paid Facebook ads; public health key stakeholders were recruited from referrals from the study team and opioid experts. Thirty participants from California were interviewed; 23 persons reporting opioid misuse, 3 family members/friends of persons misusing opioids, and 4 public health key stakeholders. We conducted semi-structured interviews asking about preferences, barriers and facilitators of treatment options for opioid use disorder, and perspectives around the use of digital/online communities. The categories of participants interviewed were each asked slightly different questions depending upon their role. Results: Results suggest that participants who misuse opioids (1) may prefer to engage in online communities rather than in-person meetings to discuss their opioid use, (2) generally prefer to receive opioid-related information from other patients with opioid use disorder and/or those in recovery rather than from health providers or other individuals, and (3) thought that an online community could be beneficial for helping address their opioid use. Conclusion: Results suggest an openness and interest in a peer-led online community to discuss opioid use and treatment among people who misuse opioids.
