A wearable acoustofluidic patch for rapid reversal of opioid overdose.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Opioids are among the most potent and reliable analgesic agents currently available, but their overdose can lead to respiratory depression and death. Although naloxone is widely used to reverse opioid overdose, it is often challenging to administer naloxone quickly enough to reverse an opioid overdose before death. Herein, we present a wearable acoustofluidic patch for rapid and automatic detection and reversal of opioid overdose. By integrating digital acoustic streaming into a 3D-printed micro-device, an acoustofluidic patch can be assembled for active and on-demand transdermal delivery of naloxone. By incorporating deep learning-guided respiratory sensing, the wearable patch can be further adapted for intelligent closed-loop treatment of opioid overdose. Moreover, our wearable patch has demonstrated successful reversal of fentanyl overdose in a mouse model, showing significantly reduced detection time, duration, and severity of overdose events, compared to the conventional method. This innovative approach may provide a promising means for personalized healthcare and digital therapy against acute disease.
