On the right there is a bar chart titled "Reasons (all specialties): Among those who had reduced or eliminated opioid prescribing the main reason for the change:". It showed that 34% of physicians noted too many hassles and risks and 29% had an improved understanding of opioids' risks as well as three other options.
At the bottom there are three pie charts labeled "Results: Have chronic pain patients been hurt or helped by the reduction in opioid prescribing?" Each chart shows a different specialty and each shows that about two-thirds chose "helped" and one-third chose "hurt".
