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

Provision of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) programs in carceral settings is critical to reducing overdose during the high-risk period following release from incarceration. Efforts to expand carceral MOUD programs have increased in recent years. We conducted a narrative review to synthesize evidence on the implementation of MOUD in U.S. carceral facilities. We analyzed 36 studies from 2019 to 2023 using the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment framework. Findings highlight that MOUD in carceral settings requires significant resources, infrastructure, and staffing. MOUD diversion is a common concern, with program responses varying widely. Stigma against MOUD remains a challenge, particularly when treating pregnant people with OUD. Effective coordination between carceral and community stakeholders is critical for MOUD implementation and continuity of treatment postrelease. COVID-19 spurred innovation, increasing telehealth in carceral MOUD programs. Future research should explore MOUD program transition from early adoption to wide-scale implementation, considering external factors, sustainability, and evolving policies.
