A Panel Management Approach Using Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Data for Primary Care Patients with Chronic Pain Treated with Opioids: A Feasibility Study.
Article in Research square, 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
Background: This feasibility study explored a process for primary care clinicians to improve chronic pain management related to opioid prescribing practices by using state-based Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) data to create panel management reports on patients receiving long term opioid therapy. Methods: Conducted across four rural primary care clinics in Northern New England, the study assessed the feasibility of downloading and utilizing PDMP data and the perceived value of panel management reports derived from both PDMP and electronic health record (EHR) data in the care of patients with chronic pain treated with opioids for more than one year. Results: The study found that downloading PDMP data was feasible and efficient across all sites. However, EHR review proved more challenging due to inconsistencies in data entry and the unstructured nature of some relevant data fields. Clinicians generally found PDMP data easy to generate and the panel management reports informative and useful for understanding opioid prescribing trends and identifying high-risk patients. Conclusions: The findings suggest that while PDMPs are a potential source for panel management reports for patients with chronic pain who are treated with opioids, further study is needed to determine the effectiveness of such efforts to improve care for and safety of patients treated with opioids.
