Willingness to receive medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD): A longitudinal analysis of social network support.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 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
backgroundMedications for opioid use disorder (MOUD, i.e., buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone) save lives, but many individuals are unwilling to receive MOUD treatment. Few longitudinal studies have examined whether social network support for MOUD is related to willingness to receive MOUD.
methodsEgocentric network data were collected from 393 adults with OUD who were incarcerated in 14 Kentucky prisons; follow-up data were collected about six months post-release. For each named alter, participants (egos) reported on perceived alters' support for buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone at baseline and follow-up; baseline network scores were averaged into a network support for MOUD score and a change score from baseline to follow-up was calculated. Multiple imputation by chained equations addressed missing data. A multivariate linear regression model of willingness to receive MOUD at follow-up was estimated that included baseline network support for MOUD, change in network support, baseline willingness to receive MOUD, lifetime history of MOUD, and demographics.
resultsBaseline network support for MOUD was positively associated with willingness to receive MOUD at follow-up (b=0.190, 95 % CI: 0.072-0.308, p < .01). Increase in network support for MOUD over time was also positively associated with willingness to receive MOUD at follow-up (b=0.210, 95 % CI: 0.102-0.319, p < .001).
conclusionSocial network support for MOUD, both the initial level and change over time, was associated with participants' willingness to receive MOUD. These findings suggest that intervention development focused on increasing social network support may have utility in increasing uptake of MOUD.
