Efficacy of motivational-interviewing and guided opioid tapering support for patients undergoing orthopedic surgery (MI-Opioid Taper): A prospective, assessor-blind, randomized controlled pilot trial.
Article in EClinicalMedicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02070003 (Perioperative Recovery of Moods, Opioids, and Pain Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 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.

Abstract
backgroundPostoperative opioid use can lead to chronic use and misuse. Few studies have examined effective approaches to taper postoperative opioid use while maintaining adequate analgesia.
methodsThis randomized, assessor-blinded, pilot trial of postoperative motivational interviewing and guided opioid tapering support (MI-Opioid Taper) added to usual care (UC) enrolled patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty at a single U.S. academic medical center. MI-Opioid Taper involved weekly (to seven weeks) and monthly (to one year) phone calls until patient-reported opioid cessation. Opioid tapering involved 25% weekly dose reductions. The primary feasibility outcome was study completion in the group to which participants were randomized. The primary efficacy outcome, time to baseline opioid use, was the first of five consecutive days of return to baseline preoperative dose. Intention-to-treat analysis with Cox proportional hazards regression was adjusted for operation. ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT02070003.
findingsFrom November 26, 2014, to April 27, 2018, 209 patients were screened, and 104 patients were assigned to receive MI-Opioid Taper (49 patients) or UC only (55 patients). Study completion after randomization was similar between groups (96.4%, 53 patients receiving UC, 91.8%, 45 patients receiving MI-Opioid Taper). Patients receiving MI-Opioid Taper had a 62% increase in the rate of return to baseline opioid use after surgery (HR 1.62; 95%CI 1.06-2.46;
interpretationIn patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty, MI-Opioid Taper is feasible and future research is needed to establish the efficacy of MI-Opioid Taper to promote postoperative opioid cessation.
