Opioid Use Disorder Screening Practices in US Jails.
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
objectivesTo describe the screening processes for opioid use disorder by jails in localities with high concentrations of opioid involved overdose deaths.
methodsA secondary data analysis of structured interviews on opioid use disorder practices from 185 jails in the United States was conducted. Descriptive statistics detailed jail screening characteristics, and bivariate statistics examined the association between screening characteristics and annual jail population.
resultsThe majority of jails in high-overdose-burden localities had screening protocols in place for opioid use disorder (95.1%). The protocols varied, with most jails reporting the use of substance use (85.4%) or opioid use (77.0%) specific screeners. Yet few jails used validated screening tools (23.3%) and instead relied on agency or state-specific tools (89.0%). Significant differences by annual jail population were found related to who conducted screenings, such that the use of medical staff for screening ( P <0.01) and clinical assessments ( P <0.05) was more likely among larger jails.
conclusionsScreening and assessment of opioid use disorder is essential for individuals in jails, given the disproportionate burden of the disorder. Jails tended to rely on agency-created tools over the use of validated screeners, and more efforts may be needed to close the research-practice divide.
