Regional and Temporal Variation in Receipt of Gabapentinoid and SSRI/SNRI Therapy Among Older Cancer Survivors in the United States.
Article in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Opioids and benzodiazepines (BZD) are commonly prescribed for older cancer survivors with co-occurring pain and anxiety. The prescribing rate of gabapentinoids (GABA), Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), and Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs) in the general population has increased as opioid/BZD alternatives, but little is known on temporal/regional trends in use of these alternatives among older cancer survivors. A retrospective cohort study using SEER-Medicare data was conducted. Patients aged ≥ 66 years, diagnosed with breast, colorectal, prostate, or lung cancer as their first cancer diagnosis any time from 2000 to 2015 and who were alive more than 5 years after cancer diagnosis, were eligible for inclusion. Temporal trends varied by region (
