Estimated Prevalence of Current Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Among Pregnant Women With Opioid Use Disorder-MATernaL and Infant Clinical NetworK (MAT-LINK), 2014-2021.
Article in Journal of addiction medicine, 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
objectivesPosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during pregnancy is associated with adverse consequences and has an estimated prevalence of 3% in community samples. The prevalence of current PTSD among pregnant women with opioid use disorder (OUD), a population at increased risk of adverse birth outcomes and other mental disorders, has been estimated at 16%-37% based on 3 small studies. We used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's MATernaL and Infant clinical NetworK (MAT-LINK) surveillance network to (1) further examine current PTSD prevalence among pregnant women with OUD and (2) compare characteristics of those with and without PTSD.
methodsPTSD prevalence estimates during the current pregnancy were based on (1) presence of an ICD-9/10-CM code indicating PTSD (ie, extracted); (2) documentation of a PTSD diagnosis in abstracted data (ie, abstracted); and (3) PTSD identified by either source.
resultsOf 3315 pregnancies among women with OUD, estimated current PTSD prevalence was 14.7% (95% CI: 13.5-15.8) based on extracted data alone, 23.3% (95% CI: 22.0-24.6) based on abstracted data alone, and 25.9% (95% CI: 24.1-27.7) when based on either data source. Those with PTSD had a higher prevalence of most substance use and mental health disorders examined compared with those without.
conclusionsThese estimates underscore the substantial prevalence of PTSD among pregnant women with OUD and emphasize the need to screen for and treat PTSD and other mental health disorders in this population. Given that evidence-based treatments for PTSD have not been systematically evaluated in pregnant women, more research is sorely needed.
