Infant caregiving, relational factors, mood, and pain in perinatal opioid use disorder: A prospective cohort with ecological momentary assessment.
Article in Addictive behaviors, 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
Evidence-based opioid use disorder (OUD) relapse prevention interventions designed to the unique needs of the postpartum period are lacking. We aimed to identify novel intervention targets using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) with Bayesian mixed-effects models to assess infant caregiving (e.g., skin-to-skin contact), relational factors (e.g., loneliness), and individual factors (e.g., pain): (1) by OUD status, and (2) in relation to craving and coping. Participants with and without OUD (OUD+ and OUD-, respectively) were followed from late pregnancy to postpartum week 12 with daily EMA assessing infant caregiving, relational factors, individual factors, craving for non-therapeutic opioids (e.g., heroin), craving for therapeutic opioids (e.g., methadone), and coping with cravings. Participants (n = 61) were 29.4 ± 5.1 years old. Compared to OUD- (n = 18), OUD+(n = 43) had greater infant-focused anxiety (β = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.002, 0.48) and well-being stress (β = 0.32; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.64). Coping with cravings declined over time (β = -0.38, 95% CI: -0.77, -0.01) whereas opioid cravings did not. Numerous associations were identified including, but not limited to, non-therapeutic craving with infant-focused anxiety (β = 1.95; 95% CI: 0.33, 3.55) and pain (β = 0.08; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.13), therapeutic craving with tangible support (β = 3.99; 95% CI: 0.56, 7.48) and work-related stress (β = 1.88; 95% CI: 0.63, 3.14), and coping with cravings with skin-to-skin contact (β = 0.07; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.11) and general well-being stress (β = -2.07; 95% CI: -4.12, -0.01). Several modifiable risk factors had unique and meaningful associations with opioid cravings and coping with craving. Future research is needed to replicate these observations in diverse samples and examine the applicability to postpartum OUD recovery support.
