Opioid Prescription and Long-Term Survival Outcomes in Adults: A Nationwide Cohort Study in Korea.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundWe aimed to investigate the association between short- and long-term opioid use and long-term mortality in Korea.
methodsIn this population-based retrospective cohort study, data were obtained from the National Health Insurance Service of South Korea. The study included all adult individuals who were prescribed opioids in 2016. The control group comprised adults not prescribed opioids in 2016 selected using a 1:1 stratified random sampling technique. Participants were categorized into three groups: non-user, opioid 1-89 days user (short-term), and opioid ≥ 90 days user (long-term) groups. The primary endpoint in this study was 5-year all-cause mortality, evaluated from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021.
resultsIn total, 4,556,606 adults were included in this study. Of these, 2,070,039 were prescribed opioids at least once. Specifically, 1,592,883 adult individuals were prescribed opioids for 1-89 days, while 477,156 adults were prescribed opioid for ≥ 90 days. In the multivariable Cox regression modelling, the opioid user group had a 28% (hazard ratio [HR], 1.28; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.26-1.29;
conclusionBoth short and long-term opioid prescriptions were associated with increased long-term mortality among the Korean adult population.
