A Country in Crisis: Opioid Sparing Solutions for Acute Pain Management.
Review in Missouri medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The United States is currently in the midst of an opioid epidemic that has led to previously unforeseen opioid misuse, abuse, and death. A major emphasis is being placed on reducing the exposure patients have to opioids, whenever possible, in an effort to hopefully reduce the risk of dependency, addiction, and overdose. However, opioid alternatives must be chosen carefully to ensure efficacy, safety, and availability for patients within the community. Non-opioid medications and modalities can reliably be used to treat not only opioid naive patients, keeping them opioid naive if possible, but also patients with opioid use disorders. Unfortunately, robust randomized controlled trials comparing non-opioid alternatives to opioids are lacking. Therefore, this review provides recommendations for best practices regarding improving pain management via the use of novel alternatives in the emergency department, medical wards and outpatient setting.
