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

Due to the recent and ongoing opioid crisis in the United States, exposure to opioid drugs in utero is becoming more common, including during medication-assisted therapy used to treat opioid use disorder. As such, careful consideration of opioidergic signaling in utero and beyond, as well as alterations to this signaling via introduction of exogenous opioids, is warranted. This review explores the ontogeny and function of the Mu, Kappa and Delta opioid receptor systems throughout the lifespan, highlighting their importance in guiding neurobehavioral development. We argue for a paradigm shift in conceptualization of opioids as not only contributors within their own system, but also vital regulators of a multitude of downstream neurodevelopmental processes.
