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
Objective: Racial and ethnic disparities exist in opioid-related overdose death rates and engagement with substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. Emerging peer recovery support services (PRSS) show promise in engaging and supporting marginalized populations. Recovery community centers (RCCs) are an important and growing source of community-based PRSS. Our goal was to examine if RCCs serving Black, Hispanic/Latino, or other racial/ethnic communities successfully engage marginalized populations in their community and if there are differences in the service models and functioning of RCCs serving different racial/ethnic communities. Methods: We conducted exploratory secondary analyses of a nationwide survey of RCC directors ( Results: On average, the median [IQR] percentage of Black participants within RCCs serving Black communities was 45% [30-63%] (51% of residents in the RCCs' ZIP codes were Black); in RCCs serving Hispanic/Latino communities, 50% [28-60%] of RCC participants were Hispanic/Latino (57% of residents in the RCCs' ZIP codes were Hispanic/Latino). Across 70 variables describing the RCCs' service model and functioning, only two statistically significant differences emerged between RCCs serving Black, Hispanic/Latino, and other communities, using an alpha of 0.05. RCCs differed in offering 12-step mutual aid groups (lowest in RCCs serving Hispanic/Latino communities; Conclusion: The overall RCC model appears to be consistent across racial/ethnic settings in terms of footprints, model of care, services offered, connection to relevant systems and organizations, and attitudes toward medications. Given the commonly observed racial/ethnic disparities in SUD care, the robustness of the RCC model across communities is promising.
