Characteristics Associated with Multimorbidity among Older United States Adult Opioid Users with Pain.

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
The objective of this study was to investigate the variables associated with multimorbidity status among older United States (US) adults with self-reported pain and opioid use. This study used a cross-sectional retrospective database design that included US adults aged ≥50 years with self-reported pain who used an opioid in 2019 in the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data. Multivariable logistic regression models, weighted to produce nationally representative estimates, were used to determine variables significantly associated with multimorbidity status (≥2 versus <2 chronic conditions). Significance was determined using an a priori alpha level of 0.05. In the adjusted logistic regression analysis, those aged 50-64 (vs. ≥65 years), Hispanic (vs. non-Hispanic), employed (vs. unemployed), and who performed frequent exercise (vs. no frequent exercise) were associated with lower odds of having multimorbidity. In conclusion, these characteristics may be targets for pain management and opioid use interventions among older US adults. Further research is needed to investigate the variables associated with multimorbidity in greater detail.
