Adolescent Fentanyl Use: Toxicological Risks, Epidemiological Trends, and Public Health Strategies.
Review in Cureus, 2025. 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
Fentanyl has become a critical public health concern due to its increasing presence in illicit drug markets and its role in the rising number of opioid-related fatalities, particularly among adolescents. This study examines the toxicological properties of fentanyl, its accessibility through online platforms, and the behavioral factors contributing to its misuse in adolescent populations. Key findings highlight the high risk of overdose due to fentanyl's potency, especially when combined with substances such as alcohol and benzodiazepines. Epidemiological data reveal a dramatic surge in adolescent fentanyl-related deaths, exacerbated by counterfeit prescription drugs and a lack of awareness regarding its extreme potency. The study also explores prevention and intervention strategies, including public health education, harm reduction approaches, and policy recommendations aimed at mitigating the growing crisis. Addressing this issue requires a multifaceted approach, integrating medical, social, and legislative efforts to protect vulnerable adolescent populations.
