Postoperative Opioid Utilization in Older Women Undergoing Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery.
Article in Female pelvic medicine & reconstructive surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesThe objective of this study was to determine total postoperative opioid consumption by women 60 years and older during the first week after pelvic organ prolapse surgery. We secondarily aimed to describe opioid prescribing patterns in this cohort.
methodsThis is a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study assessing changes in cognition in women 60 years and older undergoing prolapse surgery. Postoperative opioid use at home during the first week was collected through daily self-reported diary entries. Total postoperative opioid consumption was calculated by adding opioid administration in the postoperative anesthesia recovery unit, inpatient setting, and home opioid use (as documented in diary). Regression models were used to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with total postoperative opioid consumption in the top quartile of this cohort and home opioid use.
resultsData from 80 women were analyzed. Mean ± SD age was 71.78 ± 6.14 years (range, 60-88 years). Fifty women (62.5%) underwent vaginal surgery, and 30 (7.5%) underwent laparoscopic/robotic surgery, with concomitant hysterectomy in 47 (58.8%). The median (interquartile range) total morphine milligram equivalents used during the first week after surgery was 30 (7.5-65.75). The median (interquartile range) total morphine milligram equivalents prescribed was 225 (150-225).
conclusionsOpioid consumption after prolapse surgery in older women is very modest and equates to a median (interquartile range) of 4 (1-9) oxycodone (5 mg) tablets. Opioid prescribing patterns should be adjusted accordingly.
