A Wearable Device Towards Automatic Detection and Treatment of Opioid Overdose.
Article in IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Opioid-induced overdose is one of the leading causes of death among the US population under the age of 50. In 2021 alone, the death toll among opioid users rose to a devastating number of over 80,000. The overdose process can be reversed by the administration of naloxone, an opioid antagonist that rapidly counteracts the effects of opioid-induced respiratory depression. The idea of a closed-loop opioid overdose detection and naloxone delivery has emerged as a potential engineered solution to mitigate the deadly effects of the opioid epidemic. In this work, we introduce a wrist-worn wearable device that overcomes the portability issues of our previous work to create a closed-loop drug-delivery system, which includes (1) a Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) sensor to detect a hypoxia-driven opioid overdose event, (2) a MOSFET switch, and (3) a Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) electromagnetic heater. Using brachial artery occlusion (BAO) with human subjects (n = 8), we demonstrated consistent low oxygenation events. Furthermore, we proved our device's capability to release the drug within 10 s after detecting a hypoxic event. We found that the changes in the oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin and oxygenation saturation levels ( SpO
