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
introductionAs the opioid epidemic enters its third decade, we reflect on how it has affected clinical practice within the orthopaedic community. Recent studies show prolonged opioid use after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with worse overall health outcomes. This study aims to elucidate trends in pain management after TKA over the past decade.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed using the PearlDiver database from 2010 to 2019. Patients who underwent primary TKA without a history of mental illness, complex pain syndromes, or opioids used 6 months before surgery were selected. Postoperative prescription filling rates of opioid and nonopioid at 30, 90 days, and 1 year from surgery were analyzed. Linear regression analysis and compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) were analyzed from 2010 to 2019, a P value <0.05 being considered significant.
resultsBetween 2010 and 2019, 579,269 patients underwent primary TKA. At 30 days, filling of prescriptions for opioids (CAGR = 3.54%) and nonopioids (CAGR = 15.50%) markedly increased from 2010 to 2019. At 90 days, opioids decreased (CAGR = -4.42%). At 1 year, opioid (CAGR = -10.92%) and nonopioid (CAGR = -2.12%) prescriptions markedly decreased from 2010 to 2019. DISCUSSION: This study highlights patterns of decreased opioid prescription rates at 90 days and 1 year postoperatively from 2010 to 2019. Decreasing opioid rates may indicate effectiveness in targeted public health campaigns to curb opioid overuse.
