1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveWomen in recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD) experience sexual and reproductive health disparities which worsen health outcomes and may negatively impact recovery. While in recovery programs, women engage with different healthcare professionals, but how these professionals provide sexual and reproductive healthcare (SRH) is not well known. The purpose of this study is to identify perceived barriers and strategies to overcome barriers to providing SRH to women in recovery from OUD from the perspective of OUD recovery healthcare professionals.

methodsGuided by the social ecological framework, we used a qualitative descriptive study design to conduct individual semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals (nurses, doctors, leaders/managers, peer support specialists, therapists, and case managers). Data was analyzed using thematic analysis.

resultsAmong individual interviews with

conclusionsMulti-level challenges to address SRH in recovery require discipline specific training of healthcare professionals, empowering peer professionals, and policy and advocacy to address systemic issues.
