1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Cannabis smoking is common among adolescents and young adults. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a rare and life-threatening complication of cannabis abuse. DAH is characterized by bleeding into alveoli secondary to the disruption of the alveolar-capillary basement membrane as a result of an injury at the level of alveolar microcirculation. The differential diagnosis of DAH includes systemic vasculitis, bland pulmonary hemorrhage, and alveolar damage. The impact of cannabis on the respiratory function includes mucus hypersecretion, inflammatory edema, and increased alveolar permeability. Moreover, in vitro coagulation studies on rats showed that two major cannabinoids, cannabinol and THC, have antithrombotic activity. We present two cases of cannabis use resulting in acute lung injury and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
