Cardiac Ischemia Associated With Marijuana Use in an Adolescent.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
With the increasing use of marijuana globally, including in pediatric populations, healthcare providers see more adverse health effects associated with this substance. This report details a case presentation of cardiac ischemia in an adolescent male associated with marijuana use. The patient presented with palpitations and chest pain shortly after consuming marijuana. Clinical workup demonstrated anterior ST-segment elevations and troponin elevation with no inflammatory marker elevation or findings of myocarditis on MRI. Extensive drug screening was only positive for marijuana, with a synthetic THC panel negative. These findings resolved after close observation and the patient was discharged in good clinical condition. This case shows a concerning presentation of marijuana-associated cardiac ischemia in an otherwise healthy adolescent, illustrating a potentially severe health concern with an increasingly common substance and demonstrating the need for pediatric centers to have a high index of suspicion for cardiac causes of chest pain when marijuana ingestion is involved even when there are no prior medical or cardiac risk factors.
