Mental Health Care for Patients with Opioid Use Disorder and Methamphetamine Use in Methadone Maintenance Treatment: Experiences and Perspectives.
Article in International journal of mental health and addiction, 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
Untreated co-occurring mental health disorders (MHD) and substance use disorders (SUD) are associated with negative treatment outcomes. This study explored the experiences and perspectives of patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) who were using methamphetamine while undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) regarding barriers and facilitators to accessing MHD services. We conducted 30 in-depth interviews with MMT participants with varying levels of MHD severity, assessed using the 21-item Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21). Barriers to seeking MHD services included lack of awareness, fear of additional stigma and extra burden to families, unaddressed poly-substance use, and lack of specialized professionals. Benefits of integrating MHD services into MMT clinics included improved diagnosis, streamlined referrals, and reduced logistical challenges. Key facilitators identified included supportive family members, healthcare professionals, and digital platforms. Integrating MHD care into MMT, emphasizing family involvement, staff training, and digital platforms, holds promise to improve MHD diagnosis, referral, and treatment.
