Fentanyl Smoking in San Francisco: Early Signs of a New Connoisseurship.
Article in Human organization, 2024. 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
Heroin, once dominating the United States' opioid supply, has been supplanted by the more potent synthetic, fentanyl. In San Francisco, this has been accompanied by drastic changes in price and availability and the novel phenomenon of fentanyl smoking. Ethnographic research among people smoking fentanyl in San Francisco, often living houseless, suggests a process of knowledge reconstruction with the adaptation and discovery of consumption techniques. Equipment and techniques borrowed from more established cannabis consumption, some elaborate, are often used. An emerging appreciation of taste and the smoking process, rather than the achievement of intoxication alone, is transforming the potential for pleasure and connoisseurship among some of the city's most marginalized and stigmatized inhabitants. Given these signs of a new interest in fentanyl's taste and the smoking experience, there may be potential to encourage more deliberative, slow consumption to reduce the likelihood of overdose among those at risk.
