Gender-specific addiction research needed now more than ever: Reflections from 25 years of the NIDA Clinical Trials Network Gender Special Interest Group.
Article in Journal of substance use and addiction treatment, 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
Despite rising rates of substance use disorders (SUD) in women and the narrowing of the SUD gender prevalence ratio in the U.S., large knowledge gaps in gender-specific treatment remain. The NIDA Clinical Trials Network (CTN) Gender Special Interest Group (GSIG) has provided opportunities to bring the gender lens to national multi-site clinical trials, ancillary studies, secondary data analyses, recommendations for data collection and demographic data, among other contributions to CTN and the SUD treatment field. This commentary provides background on gender differences and the knowledge gap, a history of the CTN GSIG, and its accomplishments via gender specific trials and key secondary analyses. The commentary will close with future directions and recommendations for research including improving the inclusion of intersectional identities in recruitment reach and analyses, reproductive health, pregnant and parenting people, and methodological considerations for clinical trials to enhance capacity to collect and understand data related to gender.
