An evaluation of an inpatient opioid use disorder consult service elective for medical trainees.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundAs the opioid epidemic continues to progress, identifying clinical opportunities to train the healthcare workforce is key. Integrating trainees into an existing Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) consult service presents an opportunity to meet this need.
methodsFrom 7/2021 to 6/2023, 34 trainees (24 residents/fellows, 10 medical students) completed a 2-week OUD consult service elective. A post-elective survey assessed 4 domains: success meeting learning objectives, preparedness to manage inpatient OUD, clinical exposure to consult scenarios, and attitudes towards people who use drugs (PWUD).
resultsTwenty-five rotators completed the survey (74% response rate). After the elective, most agreed they had adequate training in OUD (80%) and felt prepared to diagnose (96%) and treat (92%) OUD. Learning objectives were met, clinical exposure was "just right" (91%), and rotators generally had positive attitudes towards PWUD.
conclusionsAn OUD consult service elective experience was associated with trainee confidence in managing OUD and little stigma toward PWUD.
