Pediatricians' Attitudes Toward and Use of Terminology About Mothers With Opioid Use Disorder.
Article in Journal of addiction medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesStigmatizing experiences for mothers with opioid use disorder (OUD) may impede health care engagement. We sought to characterize attitudes and terminology use among pediatric primary care clinicians as a potential target for improvement.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey of 1004 clinicians at 28 clinics affiliated with 7 US residency programs (April to June 2022). Survey questions focused on trust, blame, and support for mothers with OUD were adapted from prior studies of self-reported attitudes, and terminology was categorized as preferred versus nonpreferred based on national recommendations. Frequencies were tabulated, and a 2-stage process of factor analysis and k-means clustering was used to group respondents by attitudinal responses. Multivariable logistic regression evaluated the association between participant characteristics and attitudinal groups.
resultsOf 272 respondents (response rate 27.1%), most were female, non-Hispanic White residents; the distribution of clinical roles was similar among nonrespondents. Use of nonpreferred terminology was infrequent, although over 69% reported usual or occasional use of "substance abuse." Analyses supported clustering respondents across 3 main constructs of trust, blame, and support. About 27% were categorized as having a low level of blame, and about 38% had a high level of trust. Adjusting for covariates, high trust was associated with confidence in training to provide care for opioid-exposed children (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.84, P =0.04), and low blame was associated with education on OUD stigma (AOR 3.43, P =0.001).
conclusionsPediatrician attitudes reflecting mistrust and blame toward mothers with OUD are not uncommon but may be addressed through training and education.
