Brief report: A cross-sectional survey of provider engagement with family members following patient drug overdose death.
Article in The American journal on addictions, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesTo describe provider preparedness and experiences engaging families after a patient overdose death.
methodsWe used descriptive statistics to summarize responses to a national survey of interdisciplinary providers.
resultsParticipants (n = 524; 47,937 invited) agreed that providers should communicate with a patient's family after an overdose death (78.2% agreed), yet few felt very well prepared to do so (22.6%). DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsProviders inconsistently contacted families despite believing these interactions are opportunities to improve family and provider coping. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: There is a potential need for interventions addressing this discrepancy between providers' desired behaviors and practice contacting families following a patient death.
