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
backgroundAfter musculoskeletal injury, US providers prescribe opioids more frequently and at higher dosages than prescribers in the Netherlands and Haiti; however, the extent of variation in nonopioid analgesic prescribing is unknown. The aim of our study was to evaluate how nonopioid prescribing by orthopaedic residents varies by geographic context.
methodsOrthopaedic residents in three countries in which residents are the primary prescribers of postoperative analgesia in academic medical centers (Haiti, the Netherlands, and the United States) responded to surveys using vignette-based musculoskeletal trauma case scenarios. The residents chose which medications they would prescribe for postdischarge analgesia. We quantified the likelihood and dose of acetaminophen or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug prescription. We constructed multivariable regressions with generalized estimating equations to describe differences in nonopiate prescription according to country, the resident's sex and training year, and the injury site and age in the test cases.
resultsCompared with residents from the United States, residents from Haiti were more likely to prescribe nonopioids (odds ratio, 3.22 [confidence interval, 1.94 to 5.34], P < 0.0001) and residents from the Netherlands nearly always prescribed nonopioids. Of those cases where one or more opioid was prescribed, providers also prescribed a nonopioid (acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) in 345/603 (57.2%) of US, 152/152 (100%) of Dutch, and 69/97 (71.1%) of Haitian cases (Fisher exact test P value <0.0001). Finally, providers prescribed only nonopioids for pain control in 3/348 (0.86%) of US, 32/184 (17.4%) of Dutch, and 107/176 (60.8%) of Haitian cases (Fisher exact test P < 0.0001).
conclusionsWhen comparing multimodal analgesic patterns, US prescribers prescribed nonopioid analgesics less frequently than prescribers in two other countries, one low income and one high income, either in isolation or in conjunction with opioids.
