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

This is a follow up on a 2016 article discussing the rise in punitive perinatal substance use laws. From 2016-2023, there has been a 39% increase in laws equating perinatal substance use with child abuse, and a 73% increase in mandated reporting laws, despite limited evidence that these laws are helpful. We write this update to raise awareness for providers, so they may better counsel patients on this topic and help advocate for treatment focused policies in their state.
