Study Protocol for Pain Self-Management and Patient-Oriented Buprenorphine Dosing for Pain and Retention in Office-Based Opioid Treatment: A Hybrid Type 1, 2 × 2 Factorial Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Substance use & addiction journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Chronic pain is a significant factor for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) contributing to suboptimal retention in buprenorphine treatment, which is a crucial predictor of long-term health outcomes. This study aims to address the critical need for effective interventions targeting chronic pain management within office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) programs. We are conducting a multisite, hybrid type 1, 2 × 2 factorial randomized clinical trial to determine the effectiveness of 2 novel interventions, pain self-management (PSM) and patient-oriented buprenorphine dosing (POD), to decrease pain interference and improve retention in buprenorphine treatment. PSM, a manualized and customizable approach delivered through individual and peer-led group sessions, aims to decrease pain-related symptoms and quality of life. POD involves split dosing of buprenorphine to extend the duration of analgesia to better match its duration of efficacy at managing OUD symptoms, leading to improved retention in buprenorphine treatment. Eligible participants will be randomized into 1 of 4 groups: (1) PSM + POD, (2) PSM + Standard Buprenorphine Dosing, (3) Usual Care + POD, or (4) Usual Care + Standard Buprenorphine Dosing. Usual Care refers to usual care for chronic pain and Standard Buprenorphine Dosing refers to the participant's current dosing regimen. Secondary objectives encompass overall pain reduction, decreased opioid use, improved pain symptom management, and exploration of implementation strategies. The supplemental approved protocol provides comprehensive insights into the procedures and variables being investigated. As part of the HEAL Initiative
