Single-Cell RNA Transcriptomics and Multi-omics Analyses Reveal the Clinical Effects of Acupuncture on Methadone Reduction.
Article in Research (Washington, D.C.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Opioid use disorders (OUDs) pose a substantial global health burden, with methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) widely adopted as an intervention; however, MMT is associated with immunosuppression, metabolic disturbances, and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. Despite the potential of acupuncture in reducing methadone dosages and opioid addiction, the underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to integrate clinical trial data with multi-omics analysis, including single-cell sequencing, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and metagenomics, to evaluate the effects of acupuncture in patients undergoing MMT. We collected peripheral blood mononuclear cells, plasma, and fecal samples from 48 MMT participants in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Participants were divided into acupuncture (
