Trauma Prevalence and Its Association With Health-related Quality of Life in Pregnant Persons With Opioid Use Disorder.
Article in Journal of addiction medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTrauma screening is recommended for pregnant persons with opioid use disorder (OUD), but there is limited literature on screening results from buprenorphine treatment. This study's objectives were to 1) describe the types, and severity, of traumatic events reported and 2) evaluate the associations between trauma and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
methodsBaseline data from an ongoing trial were analyzed. Participants were 155 pregnant persons with OUD receiving, or enrolling in, buprenorphine treatment at one of 13 sites. The experience, and relative severity, of 14 high magnitude stressors were assessed with the trauma history screen. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29+2 was used to assess 8 HRQoL domains.
resultsTraumatic stressors were reported by 91% of the sample (n = 155), with 54.8% reporting a lifetime persisting posttraumatic distress (PPD) event and 29.7% reporting a childhood PPD event. The most prevalent lifetime PPD event was sudden death of a close family/friend (25.8%); physical abuse was the most prevalent childhood PPD event (10.3%). Participants with lifetime PPD, relative to no PPD, reported significantly greater pain interference ( P = 0.02). Participants with childhood PPD, relative to no PPD, had significantly worse HRQoL overall ( P = 0.01), and worse pain intensity ( P = 0.002), anxiety ( P = 0.003), depression ( P = 0.007), fatigue ( P = 0.002), and pain interference ( P < 0.001).
conclusionsA majority of pregnant persons enrolled/enrolling in buprenorphine treatment reported persisting posttraumatic distress with sudden death of close family/friend being the most prevalent originating event; clinicians should consider the impact that the opioid-overdose epidemic may be having in increasing trauma exposure in patients with OUD.
