Boys at Risk: Fatal Accidental Fentanyl Ingestions in Children: Analysis of Cases Reported to the FDA 2004-2013.

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
We analyze 25 accidental childhood fentanyl exposures reported to FDA, 2004-2013. These exposures had a case-fatality rate = 48%; male:female ratio = 7.3; 76% were within the 2-4 age range. The ability of fentanyl to kill children so quickly is explained by fentanyl's ability to suppress respiration-as quantified by the antinociceptive potency per milligram, fentanyl far and away leads all narcotics. FDA recommends for fentanyl disposal: flush all forms of fentanyl down the toilet.
