Community Acceptability of the First State-Authorized Overdose Prevention Center in the United States.
Article in Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 2025. 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
Overdose prevention centers (OPCs) offer supervised environments for drug consumption and harm reduction services, yet their implementation in the United States (US) remains limited. The present study analyzed the perspectives of residents and employees within a 0.75-mile radius of the first state-authorized OPC in the US (N=125). Surveys revealed that 74% supported an OPC opening in their neighborhood, with a slightly higher proportion (81%) favoring an OPC elsewhere in the city. Support for an OPC was associated with greater perceived visibility of homelessness in the neighborhood (p=0.04) and younger age (p=0.01) but was not significantly associated with other socio demographics. While participants were generally supportive, some expressed concerns about increased drug activity. Findings may have been impacted by grassroots education and public awareness campaigns. Results emphasize the importance of engaging with community members to build support for evidence-based harm reduction interventions such as OPCs.
