1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hospitalists care for patients with acute pain who have an opioid use disorder and require pain management. Hospitalists may withhold opioids for acute pain due to a variety of reasons. However, adequate pain management in patients with opioid use disorder, including with opioids, is the standard of care. This piece explains how to best manage acute pain in hospitalized patients with opioid use disorder with supportive evidence and discharge planning considerations.
