1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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.

resultsOf196 student-athlete respondents, the average age was 20.1 years and 62.8% were female. Pre-collegiate orthopedic injuries/surgeries were reported by 45.4% of athletes, of which 40.4% received an opiate prescription. Collegiate orthopedic injuries/surgeries were reported by 28.6% of athletes; 46.4% received an opiate prescription. Fifty-two student-athletes (26.5%) had received an opiate prescription after an orthopedic injury or surgery. The length of opiate use was most commonly 2 weeks or less. Female athletes had a higher rate of collegiate injuries (

conclusionA quarter of collegiate student-athletes had received an opiate prescription due to orthopedic injury or surgery, with a small subset using opiates for non-analgesic functions. Future research should examine risk factors for opiate misuse among collegiate athletes.
