Amphetamine-induced small bowel ischemia - A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia is most common in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities. Nevertheless, there are some reports of acute bowel ischemia in young patients with a history of recreational drug abuse. We describe the case of a 33-year-old patient who presented with acute abdominal pain following amphetamine consumption. Multidetector computed tomography showed nonocclusive segmental ischemia of the distal ileum, and the patient underwent emergency surgery with ileocecal resection. The patient recovered quickly and was discharged without any postoperative complications. An early and precise diagnosis of patients with intestinal ischemia having a history of amphetamine abuse is of utmost importance for prompt and proper treatment. Especially in younger patients, multidetector computed tomography should be tailored to use with less radiation. A single portal venous scan proved sufficient in our case.
