Case Report of Very-Low-Dose Fentanyl Causing Fentanyl-Induced Chest Wall Rigidity.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Wooden chest syndrome (WCS) is a rare phenomenon of opioid-induced skeletal muscle rigidity causing respiratory failure and inability to ventilate. The most common opioid associated with WCS is the synthetic opioid fentanyl. Fentanyl has been called the deadliest drug in America. With the use of fentanyl in critical care units and operation rooms, it is important to better understand fentanyl's side effects and predisposing factors of WCS. The symptoms of WCS are often seen in lower fentanyl doses than what would cause apnea. In this case report, we present a case of WCS with an extremely low dose of fentanyl, i.e., 50 μcg (0.49 μcg/kg), in an 80-year-old patient with a medical history significant for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
