Prenatal substance use and mental health comorbidities predict continued use.

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
objectivePrenatal substance use is common and can affect maternal and infant health. In addition, prenatal substance use is associated with mental health comorbidities (depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder). Unremitting prenatal substance use disorders and mental health comorbidities are associated with poor health outcomes for mothers and exposed infants. The purpose of this study was to examine how any substance use, type of substance use (polysubstance use vs. single substance use), and combinations of mental health comorbidities predict continued use during pregnancy (i.e., use in the 30 days prior to delivery).
methodHealth records of patients enrolled in a comprehensive prenatal program for women with substance use disorders were retrospectively analyzed (
resultsThirty-seven percent of the sample (
conclusionsSubstance use at admission and number of mental health conditions were independent predictors of continued use, although substance use was the stronger predictor. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
