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

backgroundThere is a bidirectional relationship between sleep disturbances and opioid misuse, and individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) often experience poor sleep and insomnia. We aimed to characterize the relationship between sleep, craving, and negative affect among individuals with OUD seeking inpatient detoxification.

methodsAdults receiving inpatient stabilization and detoxification treatment for OUD (N = 84) completed self-report measures of sleep and a standardized stress induction (the Computerized Mirror-Tracing Persistence Task) and rated their opioid craving and negative affect pre- and post-stressor. We examined whether sleep in the prior night and past two-week insomnia were associated with emotional stress reactivity and stress-induced craving.

resultsParticipants reported high levels of insomnia in the prior two weeks and shorter than recommended prior night sleep duration. There were no significant associations between sleep characteristics and baseline craving and pre-stressor negative affect. Greater insomnia severity in the past two weeks was associated with greater stress-induced craving and negative affect, past-night sleep duration was not. DISCUSSION: Insomnia over a two-week period, but not past-night sleep, was associated with increased craving and negative affect following stress, suggesting that disturbed sleep may be an important risk factor in early recovery. Replication and extension with objective measures of sleep will be needed to better understand these associations and their impact on relapse and recovery.
