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 study explored the experiences of postpartum individuals in early substance use disorder (SUD) recovery and key aspects of their social networks using the Socioecological Model (SEM). We conducted a qualitative study of 22 postpartum individuals (< 1 year since delivery) in residential SUD treatment from July to November 2023. Transcribed, audio-recorded interviews were analyzed using Atlas.ti, with findings organized by SEM levels. Participants, primarily White (81.8%), single (86.3%), and living below the poverty line (81.8%), reported opioid (40.1%) and stimulant (81.8%) use disorders. Challenges spanned SEM levels, including navigating parenthood, accessing trauma-informed care, and overcoming structural barriers such as housing instability, transportation, and childcare access. Findings underscore the need for family-centered, trauma-informed recovery programs and flexible policies addressing childcare and social service barriers to support long-term recovery and maternal well-being.
