Young age, female sex, smoking, and worse area deprivation index associated with prolonged postoperative opioid use after rotator cuff repair.

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: Oral opioid analgesia is commonly used for postoperative pain control in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). Concerns about opioid side effects and potential abuse persist. This study aimed to identify risk factors for prolonged opioid use (POU) after RCR and assess its impact on patient-reported outcomes. Methods: A retrospective chart review included patients over 18 years old who underwent primary arthroscopic RCR and had at least one preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) score. POU was defined as at least one opioid prescription refill more than 30 days postoperatively. Demographic characteristics, clinical outcomes, and PROMIS scores up to one year postoperatively were collected. Results: A total of 318 patients were included, and 38 had POU. Logistic regression identified opioid refill within 30 days after surgery, younger age, female sex, smoking, higher area deprivation index, and higher preoperative PROMIS depression score was associated with POU. Patients with POU had higher reoperation rates (15.8% vs. 5.4%; Conclusion: Risk factors for POU after arthroscopic RCR include younger age, female sex, smoking, depression, higher area deprivation, and early opioid refill. POU correlated with higher reoperation rates and poorer postoperative outcomes.
