Genetic variation in BDNF is associated with opioid use disorder severity.
Article in Human genetics, 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
As the opioid epidemic continues to challenge local communities in the United States, scientists, clinicians, and community stakeholders are seeking to understand the myriad factors that contribute to misuse in order to develop effective preventions and treatments. Among these efforts is the Camden Opioid Research Initiative (CORI) that aims to identify and characterize genetic and non-genetic risk factors for opioid use disorder (OUD). We explored potential genetic risk factors for OUD severity in four CORI study cohorts (N = 274) using a curated list of 116 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously implicated in opioid dependence. Our results replicate one SNP, rs13306221, in the BDNF gene, as having a significant association with OUD severity. Rs13306221 and a second SNP in strong linkage disequilibrium that is also associated with OUD severity, rs56164415, both lie in an open chromatin domain near the BDNF transcription start site. The rs13306221 genotype associated with increased OUD severity is additionally associated with reduced BDNF expression in lymphoblastoid cell lines consistent with a functional role in BDNF regulation.
