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
objectiveDespite recent concerns over the increase in opioid misuse among aging adults, little is known about the prevalence of lifetime nonmedical opioid use in underserved, vulnerable middle-aged and older patients with psychiatric disorders. This study aims to determine the lifetime prevalence of nonmedical opioid use among underserved, vulnerable U.S. adults aged ≥45 years with psychiatric disorders.
methodA nationally representative sample (
resultsPatients with bipolar disorder had the highest lifetime nonmedical opioid use rate (20.8%), followed by schizophrenia (19.3%), panic disorder (16.5%), and generalized anxiety disorder (14.5%). Nonmedical opioid use was significantly associated with bipolar disorder (OR 3.46, 95% CI [1.33, 8.99]) and generalized anxiety disorder (OR 2.03 95% CI [1.08, 3.83]).
conclusionOur findings demonstrate a high prevalence of lifetime nonmedical opioid use in underserved, vulnerable middle-aged and older health center patients with psychiatric disorders. Given the prevalence, health center professionals should monitor, prevent, and treat new or reoccurring signs and symptoms of nonmedical opioid use in this high-risk group of aging patients with psychiatric disorders.
