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
introductionIndividuals with criminal legal system (CLS) involvement experience opioid use disorder (OUD) at elevated rates when compared to their non-justice involved counterparts. Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) are efficacious but underutilized within this population. Interpersonal relationships and stigma play salient roles in the outcomes of OUD treatment. This study examines prison-based treatment staff perspectives on how familial networks and stigma interact to impact one's decision of whether to initiate MOUD while in prison in Kentucky.
methodsA coding team analyzed qualitative interviews with prison-based clinicians (n = 23) and administrators (n = 9) collected from the Geographic variation in Addiction Treatment Experiences (GATE) study using NVivo software. The study analyzed excerpts associated with the primary codes of "stigma" and "social networks" and the secondary code of "family" in order to assess the relationship between familial stigma and MOUD initiation from treatment staff viewpoints.
resultsArising themes suggest that clients' families' lack of MOUD knowledge plays a crucial role in perpetuating related stigma, that this stigma often materializes as a belief that MOUD is a continuation of illicit substance use and that stigma levels vary across MOUD forms (e.g., more stigma towards agonists than antagonists).
conclusionsThese findings carry implications for better understanding how intervention stigma within one's familial network impacts prison-based medication initiation decisions. Resulting themes suggest support for continued expansion of efforts by Kentucky Department of Corrections to involve participant families in education and treatment initiatives to reduce intervention stigma and increase treatment utilization.
