Exploring how pregnant people in recovery from opioid use disorder describe their child during pregnancy.
Article in Neurotoxicology and teratology. 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
objectiveUnderstanding parenting strengths and challenges among pregnant people in recovery from opioid use disorder supports effective intervention delivery. How parents think and feel about their child prenatally has implications for postnatal parenting. In our past work, greater use of positive compared to negative or neutral prenatal descriptors of the child during pregnancy was associated with higher sensitivity, warmth, and engagement during caregiver-infant interactions 12-months postpartum. We analyzed descriptions of the child among pregnant people in recovery compared to a non-substance using sample to further our understanding of potential parenting strengths and risks for people in recovery.
methodParticipants included pregnant people (N = 18; M age = 30.06, SD = 3.33) recruited from an outpatient substance use treatment program providing buprenorphine (recovery sample) and a comparison sample of pregnant people (N = 120; M age = 26.16, SD = 5.71) reporting high rates of economic disadvantage and intimate partner violence, but not substance use. Through a semi-structured interview, participants described the personality of the child they were pregnant with in up to five words/phrases. Each description was coded as positive, neutral, or negative.
resultsParticipants in the recovery sample used a greater number of positive words on average (M = 3.5, SD = 1.4) relative to the comparison sample (M = 2.7, SD = 1.5; Cohen's d = 0.56, 95 % confidence interval: LL = 0.06, UL = 1.06). Use of negative descriptors was similar across samples.
conclusionsAssessing how pregnant people in recovery think and feel about their developing fetus is feasible and could create opportunities for engagement in preventive parenting interventions to support healthy conceptualizations of the child.
