Parenting through the eyes of mothers with substance use disorder: Implications for treatment and related services.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundMaternal substance use can negatively impact parenting. However, most research on this topic come from epidemiological studies. Thus, the purpose of this study is to qualitatively explore how mothers receiving substance misuse treatment feel their substance use disorder (SUD) has influenced their experiences of motherhood and parenting while also exploring their perception of how their children may have been impacted by their SUD
methods35 one-on-one semi-structured interviews with mothers receiving substance use treatment were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsFour themes emerged from the analysis: 1) Battle between recovery and motherhood, 2) Challenges being fully present as a parent, 3) Parenting within government and legal systems, and 4) Impacts on children. Mothers mostly reported that their SUD did negatively impact their children in numerous ways. However, their SUD was also reported to be a barrier to parenting that brought unique challenges.
conclusionParenting and SUD are interrelated and can influence one another. To best serve mothers with SUD and their children this interconnectedness must be considered.
