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

Chronic pain and opioid use disorder cause significant social, physical, and economic burdens on individuals and society. Historically, chronic pain and opioid use disorder have been treated individually, yet they often are comorbid conditions and treatment targeting both concurrently might improve outcomes. This article reviewed psychological treatment approaches for comorbid chronic pain and opioid use disorder. Treatments were classified as cognitive behavioral therapy-based, mindfulness-based, or integrated treatments. Treatments were primarily delivered in-person other than a cognitive behavioral digital health approach. Mindfulness-based and integrated interventions demonstrated the best outcomes. Given the significant public health burden from comorbid chronic pain and opioid use disorder, there is an urgent need for increased research and implementation of psychological treatments for these conditions.
