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

aimsWe offer a literature-driven, empirically informed, and highly warranted recommendation for a multilevel approach tailored to nurse practitioners. This approach aimed to drive change at the individual level (nurse practitioner), dyadic level (nurse-patient therapeutic relationship), and systems level (organisational culture, education, and policy) to strengthen nurse practitioners' capacity to deliver optimal opioid use disorder care.

backgroundThe opioid overdose epidemic is a global public health crisis, with the United States facing the most severe impact. Access to evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder remains a significant barrier. Primary care nurse practitioners can play a crucial role in expanding access and bridging the treatment gap. Addressing factors influencing access to, quality of, and effectiveness of treatment requires urgent and careful consideration.

designThis position paper highlights the multilevel barriers that inhibit nurse practitioners in managing opioid use disorder, negatively impacting treatment access and opioid use disorder-related outcomes.

methodThe Advanced Practice Provider conceptual model was adapted to guide this paper. This adapted model illustrates the interconnected layers among nurse practitioners, clinical care, education, professional development, and organisational culture and policy in caring for patients with opioid use disorder.

conclusionsEquipping primary care nurse practitioners with the necessary tools to both understand opioid addiction and empower patients experiencing it can have a profound impact. This impact benefits the provider and patient and extends to addressing the opioid crisis at multiple levels. Future research should explore nurse practitioners' experiences when working with individuals with opioid use disorder, identify barriers that hinder positive interactions with patients seeking treatment, and pragmatically test and implement multilevel interventions designed to holistically benefit providers and patient outcomes. IMPACT TO NURSING: This American-based reflection offers valuable insights to nurse practitioners worldwide as they consider effective strategies for addressing opioid use disorder in primary care settings.
