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
purposePast studies emphasize positive associations between parental opioid misuse and adverse outcomes for children and families yet neglect to understand whether opioid misuse interferes with positive parenting behaviors, such as checking on homework or engaging in serious discussions with an adolescent child.
methodWe analyzed data collected from parent-adolescent dyads (N = 24,900) surveyed for the 2014-2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, specifically examining relationships between parents' past-year opioid misuse or heroin use and adolescent-reported parenting behaviors.
resultsFor both mother-child and father-child dyads, parent-reported opioid misuse was significantly associated with only one of 10 positive parenting behaviors. Mothers who reported misusing opioids helped with homework less often (p = .04) and fathers who reported misusing opioids had less frequent engagement in serious conversations with their adolescent children (p = .04). Having longer conversations with children about substance use was positively associated with mother-reported opioid misuse (p = .013), mother-reported heroin use (p < .001), and father-reported heroin use (p < .001). DISCUSSION: These data provide insight into existing deficits and strengths of parents who have misused opioids in the past and present opportunities to intervene in the family unit to disrupt cycles of intergenerational substance misuse. Our findings reframe positive parenting as an attainable goal for parents who have misused opioids and inform the development of interventions designed to address distinct deficits experienced in mothers and fathers.
