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
backgroundPrescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) have been widely adopted as a tool to address the prescription opioid epidemic in the United States. PDMP integration and mandatory use policies are 2 approaches states have implemented to increase use of PDMPs by prescribers. While the effectiveness of these approaches is mixed, it is unclear what factors motivated states to implement them. This study examines whether opioid dispensing, adverse health outcomes, or other non-health-related factors motivated implementation of these PDMP approaches.
methodsTime-to-event analysis was performed using lagged state-year covariates to reflect values from the year prior. Extended Cox regression estimated the association of states' rates of opioid dispensing, prescription opioid overdose deaths, and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome with implementation of PDMP integration and mandatory use policies from 2009 to 2020, controlling for demographic and economic factors, state government and political factors, and prior opioid policies.
resultsIn our main model, prior opioid dispensing (HR 2.31, 95% CI 1.17, 4.57), neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome hospitalizations (HR 1.55, 95% CI 1.09, 2.19), and number of prior opioid policies (HR 2.13, 95% CI 1.13, 4.00) were associated with mandatory use policies. Prior prescription opioid overdose deaths (HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.08, 1.35) were also associated with mandatory use policies in a model that did not include opioid dispensing or neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome. No study variables were associated with implementation of PDMP integration.
conclusionUnderstanding state-level factors associated with implementing PDMP approaches can provide insights into factors that motivate the adoption of future public health interventions.
