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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsMedication is the gold standard to support a healthy pregnancy for pregnant people with opioid use disorder (OUD). This study measured inequities and differences in OUD medication treatment among pregnant people in Oregon, USA. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND MEASUREMENTS: Our study population consisted of Medicaid enrollees across the US state of Oregon who had at least one live hospital birth between 2012 and 2020 and one diagnosis of OUD prenatally (n = 4363). We measured differences in demographic characteristics (age, race, ethnicity, location) among those with and without medication for OUD in the prenatal through 3-months postpartum period (any medication use, and by type), and compared exclusive methadone versus buprenorphine receipt. We report unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios.
findingsAdjusted odds ratios for medication for OUD were lower among American Indian/Alaska Native pregnant people compared with White pregnant people [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.59 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.42, 0.83)], younger pregnant people compared with those aged 30-34 years [aOR, ages 15-19: 0.1 (95 CI = 0.06, 0.18); aOR, ages 20-24: 0.58 (95 CI = 0.49, 0.69)] and rural pregnant people compared with those in urban communities [aOR 0.58 (95 CI = 0.5-0.67)]. Rural pregnant people with OUD also had lower odds of methadone receipt [aOR 0.23 (95 CI = 0.17, 0.3)] and higher odds of buprenorphine receipt [aOR 3.99 (95 CI = 2.97, 5.35)] than other people in this study. Among those who received medication, Black pregnant people had increased odds of receiving methadone compared with buprenorphine [aOR 2.09 (95 CI = 1.1-3.97)].
conclusionsIn Oregon, USA, inequities in receipt of any medication for opioid use disorder were observed among pregnant people who identified as American Indian or Alaska Native, younger than 25, and living in rural communities. Black pregnant people in Oregon, USA, were more likely to receive methadone than buprenorphine.
