Epigenetic Insights into Substance Use Disorder and Associated Psychiatric Conditions.
Review in Complex psychiatry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: Substance use disorder (SUD) is closely associated with epigenetic modifications that significantly impact mental health outcomes. Alcohol and drug misuse induce widespread changes in the epigenome and transcriptome of the central nervous system, disrupting critical processes such as reward signaling and emotional regulation. These alterations in epigenetic regulation and gene expression often persist even after substance cessation, potentially contributing to the onset or worsening of psychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia, depression, stress, and anxiety. Summary: This review delves into key epigenetic mechanisms underlying SUD and its comorbid psychiatric disorders, with a focus on DNA methylation, histone modifications, and noncoding RNA regulation. Additionally, it examines the influence of environmental and biological factors on the epigenome and evaluates emerging epigenetic-based therapeutic strategies aimed at treating SUD and related psychiatric conditions. Key Messages: Gaining a deeper understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms driving SUD and its associated psychiatric disorders is crucial for the development of effective therapeutic interventions. This review highlights the potential of epigenetic-based pharmacological strategies to mitigate the societal and personal burdens linked to SUD and its mental health complications.
