Adapting a Behavioral Activation Intervention for Opioid Use Disorder and Methadone Treatment Retention for Peer Delivery in a Low-Resource Setting: A Case Series.
Article in Cognitive and behavioral practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
While methadone treatment (MT) is effective in treating opioid use disorder (OUD), retention remains an issue nationwide, especially among low-income, minoritized populations. Peer recovery specialists (PRSs), individuals with lived substance use experience, are particularly well suited to support vulnerable populations, though often are not trained in delivering evidence-based interventions. Thus, our team developed a Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation open-label pilot trial to evaluate the effectiveness of PRS-delivered BA (Peer Activate) in improving MT retention and establish feasibility, acceptability and PRS fidelity of the intervention. In this case series, we provide a more in-depth depiction of the adaption of Peer Activate and present three cases to illustrate how Peer Activate can be implemented among patients in routine MT care and adapted to meet the needs of varying clinical presentations. We include descriptive data on participant substance use and MT outcomes to supplement the narrative discussion. While varying participant presentations and needs presented challenges to the PRS interventionist, the PRS utilized his shared, lived substance use and recovery experiences and met participants where they were at, as well as successfully used BA techniques, ultimately leading to intervention success.
