Synthesis and μ-Opioid Activity of the Primary Metabolites of Carfentanil.
Article in ACS medicinal chemistry letters, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Carfentanil is a synthetic opioid significantly more potent than clinically prescribed fentanyl. The primary metabolites of carfentanil, generated from human liver microsomes, were structurally confirmed through chemical synthesis. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for μ-opioid receptor (MOR) functional activity. Of the six metabolites assayed, a major metabolite showed comparable activity to the parent opioid. Three other metabolites showed significant MOR functional activity. The availability of the metabolites could aid improvements in the analysis of biomedical samples obtained from suspected human exposures to carfentanil and development of treatment protocols.
