The frequency and clinical associations of opioid use in systemic sclerosis.

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
Objective: To define the frequency and associations of opioid use in SSc. Methods: Australian Scleroderma Cohort Study participants meeting ACR/EULAR criteria for SSc were included. Current or previous opioid use was recorded at each visit, with long-term use defined as use on two or more consecutive visits. Groups were compared using two-sample Results: Of 1951 participants with a mean age of 46.7 years (s.d. 14.4), 88% were female and 12% had ever received any opioids since SSc onset. Of these, 46% recorded opioid use across multiple consecutive study visits. Digital ulcers (63% Conclusions: Opioid use in SSc was associated with musculoskeletal, GI and lung involvement. Opioid prescription was associated with poorer QoL and physical function.
