Clinical outcomes from a mid-western opioid treatment program during covid-19 emergency regulations: a brief report on the effect of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) use on take home methadone access.
Article in Harm reduction journal, 2026. 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
The study examines whether tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) use alone affected sustainability of weekly take-home methadone medication among a small sample of 33 patients attending a single opioid treatment program, under special exception by state and federal governments during the Covid-19 pandemic. Kaplan Meier analyses of survival rates in months of eligibility for take-home methadone showed that the majority of patients with continuing THC use remained eligible for 10 months despite continued THC use. Majority were employed, insured, and housed stably, but Log Rank Tests on these predictor variables showed no statistical significance. The socioeconomic stability of the cohort may indicate THC use alone may be less important in restricting take-home methadone and warrants further research.
