Implementing a decentralized opioid overdose prevention strategy in Mexico, a pending public policy issue.
Review in Lancet regional health. Americas, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The public health crisis due to opioid overdose is worsening in Mexico's northern region due to the introduction of illicitly manufactured fentanyl into the local drug supply. Though there is an increase in overdose deaths, there is no accurate report of overdoses by Mexican government agencies and no comprehensive opioid overdose prevention strategy. There is currently only an anti-drug marketing strategy which is likely insufficient to mitigate the growing epidemic. In order to address the growing opioid overdose crisis in the country, it is necessary to create and implement a decentralized prevention strategy, that includes naloxone distribution, expanded treatment services in regions most in need, and create active dialogue with community organisations already implementing harm reduction actions. Decisive action must be taken by the Mexican government to ensure the health and wellbeing of the Mexican citizens, especially those at high risk for opioid overdose.
