Stalled Improvements? Youth Opioid Misuse 2015-2022.
Article in The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent 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
purposeTo examine youth opioid misuse trends before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic era.
methodsWe use nationally representative data from the 2015-2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health to study self-reported opioid misuse by age, among youth ages 12-25 years.
resultsThe downward trend in youth opioid misuse has flattened since the pandemic, and the gaps between opioid misuse across age groups have closed. DISCUSSION: One explanation is that by 2020 youth opioid misuse rates had already reached very low rates-the prevalence of misuse was less than 5% in all age groups in the 12-25 years range. Since opioid misuse rates are naturally bound below by zero, the converging and flattening of youth opioid misuse rates suggest little room for further reductions despite increasing mortality rates.
