Do sex, age, and comorbidities modify the association of socioeconomic status and opioid use after total hip arthroplasty?: a population-based study from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register.

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 and purposeWe aimed to examine the association between socioeconomic status (SES) markers and opioid use after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to osteoarthritis, and whether sex, age, or comorbidities modify any association.
methodsUsing Danish databases, we included 80,038 patients undergoing primary THA (2001-2018). We calculated prevalences and prevalence ratios (PRs with 95% confidence intervals [CIs]) of immediate post-THA opioid use (≥ 1 prescription within 1 month) and continued opioid use (≥ 1 prescription in 1-12 months) among immediate opioid users. Exposures were individual-based education, cohabitation, and wealth.
resultsThe prevalence of immediate opioid use was ~45% in preoperative non-users and ~60% in preoperative users (≥ 1 opioid 0-6 months before THA). Among non-users, the prevalences and PRs of continued opioid use were: 28% for low vs. 21% for high education (PR 1.28, CI 1.20-1.37), 27% for living alone vs. 23% for cohabiting (PR 1.09, CI 1.04-1.15), and 30% for low vs. 20% for high wealth (PR 1.43, CI 1.35-1.51). Among users, prevalences were 67% for low vs. 55% for high education (1.22, CI 1.17-1.27), 68% for living alone vs. 60% for cohabiting (PR 1.10, CI 1.07-1.12), and 73% for low wealth vs. 54% for high wealth (PR 1.32, CI 1.28-1.36). Based on testing for interaction, sex, age, and comorbidity did not statistically significant modify the associations. Nevertheless, associations were stronger in younger patients for all SES markers (mainly for non-users).
conclusionMarkers of low SES were associated with a higher prevalence of continued post-THA opioid use. Age modified the magnitude of the associations, but it was not statistically significant.
