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

objectivesPeer recovery support services (PRSS) may enhance medication initiation and treatment outcomes for individuals with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). However, variability in operationalizing these services complicates systematic evaluation of PRSS interventions. Moreover, patient needs and service availability may vary in rural and urban regions. This study sought to develop a tool to guide peer recovery coaches (PRCs) in supporting treatment initiation and maintenance services for rural and urban-dwelling individuals with OUD.

methodsThe PRC Service Checklist for Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) Support was systematically adapted from the existing general PRC Checklist for SUD, recovery capital domains, and social support theories. PRCs (

resultsOver 65% of participants with OUD were interested in receiving all of the services or activities on the checklist. At least 95% of PRC respondents agreed that they were satisfied with the checklist overall and that they believed the checklist would be helpful, useful, easy to use, and included the services they provided.

conclusionsThe PRC Service Checklist for MOUD Support is a validated tool with high acceptability among PRCs and strong interest from individuals with OUD.
