Clinical and Demographic Factors Associated with Receiving an Opioid Prescription following Admission to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

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
Opioids are commonly used to treat pain in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and many children receive opioid prescription(s) at discharge. The frequency of opioid prescriptions at discharge and associations with individual characteristics and clinical factors are unknown. This study aimed to identify (1) the number of children who receive an opioid prescription at PICU discharge and (2) the demographic and clinical factors associated with receiving an opioid prescription. Data were collected via the electronic medical record. The sample was 3345 children (birth to 18 years) admitted to the PICU and discharged to home or an inpatient rehabilitation setting. In total, 23.7% of children were prescribed an opioid at discharge. There were group differences in who received opioid prescriptions (yes/no) related to PICU diagnosis, length of hospital stay, number of days on mechanical ventilation, number of previous hospitalizations, organ dysfunction score, and admission type (surgical versus non-surgical). Binary logistic regression models examined predictors of opioid prescription at discharge for the total sample and diagnostic subgroups. Older age and surgical admission type were the most consistent predictors of receiving an opioid prescription. Future research should examine prescription usage patterns and how use of opioids is associated with pain and functional outcomes over time.
