Time to act: Early experience suggests stabilization care offers a feasible approach for adolescents after acute life-threatening opioid toxicity.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
British Columbia is the epicentre of the opioid crisis in North America. Illicit drug toxicity is now one of the top 3 causes of death for adolescents in British Columbia. Evidence informed treatment is available but adolescents rarely receive it. Non-fatal toxicity can provide an opportunity to intervene. Since 2018, paediatricians in British Columbia have been offering admission, involuntary if necessary, to adolescents presenting to hospital after a life-threatening illicit drug toxicity. This brief stay, termed "stabilization care," offers medical and psychiatric assessments, withdrawal management and initiation of opioid agonist therapy and discharge planning. Hospital policies, procedures and protocols were revised to support the unique needs of this population. Early experience with 17 adolescents shows relatively high attachment to treatment services and opioid agonist treatment, suggesting that paediatric interdisciplinary teams, working strategically, can improve care for adolescents in the face of the opioid epidemic.
