1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Missourians are dying of fentanyl poisoning at an unprecedented rate. We identified growth areas in Missouri for fatal fentanyl encounters in rural and western counties. Though the deaths occur for a multitude of reasons, a growing trend adds to the surge in fentanyl fatalities: poisonings from counterfeit pills. The tablets are often labeled with brand names for alprazolam or oxycodone, but may contain only fentanyl at a dangerous level. Teenagers find counterfeit pills all too easily via social media. Believing they have found an easy way to obtain a quick high or relief of minor pain and anxiety, they take the pill alone in their bedroom, with no possibility of reversing a fatal fentanyl dose. There is a wide range of respiratory depression from illicit drugs containing fentanyl. We reviewed the physiologic respiratory response to drugs containing fentanyl that varies with genetics and the unpredictable amount of fentanyl contained in illicit drugs.
