The Role of Childhood Trauma in Chronic Pain and Substance Use Among Individuals Receiving Methadone Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder.
Article in Journal of addiction medicine. 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
objectivesThis study explored the correlations between childhood trauma, chronic pain, and substance use among individuals receiving methadone for opioid use disorder (OUD). We hypothesized that, among individuals with OUD, a history of childhood trauma would correlate with more severe pain and substance use compared with those without such history.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of 82 individuals receiving methadone for OUD. Participants completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) to assess childhood trauma exposure, the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) to characterize chronic pain, and the Timeline Followback (TLFB) method to assess substance use in the past 28 days. Correlation analyses and ANOVA examined the relationships between these variables.
resultsHigher childhood trauma scores correlated with greater pain severity (r = 0.27, P = 0.03), increased alcohol consumption (r = 0.25, P = 0.04), and earlier age of cannabis initiation (r = -0.45, P < 0.001). Among trauma subscales, emotional abuse most closely correlated with greater pain severity (r = 0.33, P = 0.008) and interference (r = 0.28, P = 0.03), and alcohol consumption (r = 0.28, P = 0.02). Individuals who used cannabis reported significantly higher levels of emotional abuse ( P = 0.04), sexual abuse ( P = 0.03), and physical neglect ( P = 0.02) compared with those who did not. Conversely, our analysis did not reveal significant correlations between childhood trauma and heroin, tobacco, cocaine, or stimulant use.
conclusionsChildhood trauma correlated with greater pain severity and interference, higher alcohol use, earlier cannabis initiation, and increased likelihood of cannabis use among individuals receiving methadone for OUD. These findings suggest the importance of integrating trauma-focused assessment and treatment into OUD treatment programs.
