Blunted light exposure amplitudes in patients with opioid use disorder.
Article in Npj biological timing and sleep, 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
Accumulating evidence implicates sleep and circadian rhythm disruption in substance use disorders, including opioid use disorder (OUD). To understand whether weaker light exposure time cues are observed in patients with OUD, we compared the amplitudes of personal light exposure in patients with OUD (n = 73) and healthy controls (n = 49). Participants monitored personal light exposure and rest/activity via wrist-worn actigraphy for 1 week. We calculated light and physical activity amplitude for each day with non-orthogonal spectral analysis. Patients with OUD demonstrated significantly lower light exposure amplitudes and significantly higher physical activity amplitudes compared to healthy controls, suggesting lower light exposure amplitudes are not accounted for by sedentary behavior in patients with OUD. Blunted light exposure amplitudes, indicative of a weaker time cue to the circadian clock, characterize patients with OUD and may represent a novel target for improving sleep and circadian health in OUD.
