Opioid Prescription Patterns 90 Days After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A 10-Year National Database Analysis.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) is a common procedure that typically requires opioid prescription for postoperative pain management. Purpose: To investigate the current prescription patterns and factors influencing 90-day postoperative opioid prescription trends for opioid-naïve patients who underwent ARCR. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Opioid-naïve adult patients who underwent ARCR between January 2010 and September 2020 and had a record of opioid prescriptions during the 90-day postoperative period were identified in the PearlDiver Mariner91 national administrative database. Exclusions included patients with prior shoulder procedures, a history of chronic pain, and opioid prescription records dated earlier than 4 weeks before surgery. Covariates included age group, sex, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, and prescriber specialty (orthopaedic or nonorthopaedic). The primary outcome-90-day postoperative morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) prescribed per patient-was compared using univariate and multivariate regression analyses, and 90-day postoperative opioid prescription trends over the 10-year study period were analyzed with linear regression. Results: In total, 55,345 ARCR cases were identified. The mean ± SD amount prescribed within the first 90 days was 742.4 ± 256.5 MMEs, and the median was 487.5 MMEs. Multivariate linear regression analysis predicted higher 90-day postoperative MMEs for female patients and younger patients ( Conclusion: Female sex and younger age were predictors of more MME being prescribed after ARCR. While opioid prescriptions following ARCR have substantially decreased over the past decade, the amount prescribed warrants further attention.
