'Safer opioid distribution' as an essential public health intervention for the opioid mortality crisis - Considerations, options and examples towards broad-based implementation.
Article in Public health in practice (Oxford, England), 2020. 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
•Canada experiences excessive opioid mortality, mainly from toxic opioid exposure.•Many interventions have been implemented, but are limited in reach and impact.•'Safer opioid distribution' (SOD) is a crucial preventive measure for overdose.•SOD needs to be implemented for a large, 'at-risk' opioid user population.•Other community-based public health interventions may guide SOD organization.
