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

Buprenorphine is recommended for pregnant patients with opioid use disorder. Traditional buprenorphine initiation requires moderate withdrawal symptoms to prevent precipitating withdrawal. Low-dose buprenorphine initiation is newly emerging and does not require withdrawal prior to initiation. Case 1 is a 30-year-old pregnant patient with opioid use disorder. Inpatient rapid buprenorphine initiation precipitated withdrawal. Low-dose buprenorphine initiation was started twice, 1 outpatient and 1 inpatient with nonprescribed opioid use between. Case 2 is a 28-year-old pregnant patient with opioid use disorder. The patient started an inpatient low-dose buprenorphine initiation and planned its completion at home after discharge. Neither patient experienced precipitated withdrawal during their low-dose initiations. These buprenorphine initiations in pregnant patients guided by a low-dose initiations protocol using only split buprenorphine-naloxone films represent an alternative opioid use disorder treatment method with potentially high acceptability. Future work is warranted to advance the evidence base informing clinicians on how to optimally individualize buprenorphine initiations in pregnancy.
