Role of Pain in Adults Undergoing Soft Tissue and Maxillomandibular Advancement Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

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: In adult patients who undergo soft tissue and maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) sleep surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), we identify preoperative pain diagnoses and postoperative pain medication dispensing patterns by surgery type. Methods: This retrospective cohort chart review study examines adults who underwent sleep surgery for OSA at an integrated healthcare delivery system (2009-2017). Data obtained from electronic sources included demographics, surgery type, presentation to the emergency department, hospital readmission, and postoperative medication dispensings. Results: A total of 2287 adult patients were identified. The average age at surgery was 40.8 ± 12.5 years. Surgeries performed included ( Conclusions: Non-hypoglossal nerve stimulation (non-HGNS) sleep surgery for OSA is associated with high (nearly 92%) postoperative opioid dispensings. Adult patients undergoing non-HGNS sleep surgery are likely at increased risk of opioid complications given the high prevalence of preoperative opioid use, chronic pain, and depression. Level of Evidence: 4.
