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: Stigma related to methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) remains a substantial barrier to treatment engagement among people who use drugs (PWUD). Understanding how MMT-related stigma influences adherence self-efficacy is critical for supporting treatment engagement and optimizing long-term outcomes. Objectives: Our study examined the associations between MMT-related stigma, with a specific focus on anticipated and internalized stigma, and self-efficacy for treatment adherence among PWUD in Vietnam. Methods: We used cross-sectional baseline data collected between April and July 2024 from an intervention trial conducted in 3 provinces of Vietnam. Bivariate correlations and hierarchical multiple linear regression models were used to assess the relationships between 2 forms of MMT-related stigma and self-efficacy for treatment adherence, adjusting for relevant sociodemographic and background characteristics. Results: Among 690 PWUD participants, both anticipated MMT-related stigma ( Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of integrating strategies to address and reduce MMT-related stigma. Interventions that explicitly address anticipated stigma may be critical for strengthening confidence in treatment adherence and supporting sustained outcomes.
