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
Background: Adequate pain management is important in patients' recovery from total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Objective: To determine whether risk factors for prolonged opioid use are considered when discharge prescriptions for postoperative pain are written following THA and TKA. Methods: Opioid prescriptions written between June 14 and July 9, 2021, for patients who underwent THA or TKA were analyzed. Data were also collected on the patients' age, sex, type of surgery, type of anesthesia (regional or general), preoperative use of opioids, and preoperative use of antidepressants. Results: Among the 59 patients included in the study, the most common prescriptions were for hydromorphone 2 mg ( Conclusions: Patient-specific factors appeared not to be taken into consideration when opioids were prescribed for postoperative pain among patients who underwent THA or TKA.
