Sex Differences in Opioid Misuse among Adults with Chronic Lower Back Pain: The Roles of Negative Affect and Related Transdiagnostic Factors.
Article in Journal of substance use, 2025. 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
Background: The opioid epidemic is a significant public health concern, particularly among adults with chronic pain. Although sex differences in opioid-related behaviors have been observed, little work has examined the role of negative affect and related variables in greater opioid misuse severity risk among men. Methods: We tested whether, among 206 (72.3% female) adults (aged 18-64, Results: Although these negative affect-related variables were related to more severe opioid misuse for both men and women, the relation of sex to misuse varied as a function of the following variables: anxiety, pain anxiety, pain catastrophizing, and difficulty with emotion regulation, such that at higher levels of these variables, men reported more severe opioid misuse than women. This same pattern was not evident for depression, anxiety sensitivity, or distress intolerance. Conclusions: Results highlight the important roles specific types of negative affect-related variables may play in observed sex differences in opioid misuse severity among individuals with CLBP.
