Opioid Use Disorder Treatments: An Evidence Map

Evidence maps are based on targeted literature searches and the sorting of eligible studies on a narrow or broad topic, which results in an underlying dataset and an overlying visual electronic document, or map. Currently, there is no existing visual representation of gaps in opioid use disorder (OUD) research.

Our OUD Treatment Evidence Map aims to visualize all available opioid use disorder treatment and prevention studies using a visual and text-based schematic. It highlights the density (multiples) of studies in a given cross-section of intervention and outcome, the strength of evidence supporting a treatment effect (for systematic reviews and meta-analyses), and interventions and outcomes lacking studies.

View our video for full instructions on how to best optimize your use of our online Evidence Map tool for the treatment of opioid use disorder.

The Evidence Map for Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Represents Evidence Across the Landscape of Possible Treatments and Outcomes for Patients with Opioid Use Disorder, Representing 1,591 Studies, 26 Population Types, 95 Intervention Types (Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological), and 44 Outcome Types
The Evidence Map for Opioid Use Disorder Treatment is a visual representation of evidence across the entire landscape of possible treatments and outcomes for patients with opioid use disorder. It is organized by Outcomes on the x-axis and Interventions on the y-axis, and each node represents the number of studies testing a particular intervention or outcome combination.
