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

A systematic review was conducted to identify existing quality indicators for opioid stewardship in hospital inpatient and emergency departments. Five databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, CENTRAL, and Scopus) and grey literature were searched up to April 2022 to identify articles containing quality indicators for opioid stewardship in the hospital setting. Quality indicators were classified into (1) structure, (2) process, and (3) outcome according to Donabedian model and further analysed as subgroups. Risk of bias assessment was performed by 2 independent reviewers. In total, 4621 articles were identified after duplicates were removed, of which 20 full-text articles were screened for eligibility and 8 articles included in the review. There were 81 quality indicators extracted, of which 49 were unique quality indicators. Analysis produced 25% (12/49) structure, 61% (30/49) process, and 14% (7/49) outcome quality indicators. These quality indicators may be used to developed future quality standards, although further study is needed to improve patient data collection for outcome quality indicators to allow for more holistic evaluation of opioid stewardship programs.
