Assessment of High-Volume Antibiotic and Opioid Prescribing by Medicare Part D Prescribers-United States, 2021.
Article in Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974). 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
Characterizing high-volume co-prescribing of antibiotics and opioids can inform interventions that improve prescribing practices. Using 2021 Medicare Part D data, we conducted a cross-sectional analysis to assess concordance between high-volume prescribing of antibiotics and opioids and characterize associations between prescriber-level factors and high-volume co-prescribing of antibiotics and opioids. High-volume antibiotic prescribers accounted for 12.5 million (36.0%) antibiotic prescriptions, and high-volume opioid prescribers accounted for 22.3 million (51.9%) opioid prescriptions. We found fair concordance between being a high-volume prescriber of antibiotics and a high-volume prescriber of opioids (κ = 0.30). Prescribers in the South (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 3.67; 95% CI, 3.46-3.90) and in rural areas (AOR = 2.32; 95% CI, 2.12-2.54) were more likely to be high-volume co-prescribers of antibiotics and opioids than prescribers in the West and in urban areas, respectively. Public health and professional organizations can partner to provide support to optimize antibiotic and opioid prescribing practices and improve patient safety.
