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
Mephentermine is a vasopressor drug closely related to amphetamine and methamphetamine. Cases of abuse and dependence to mephentermine have dotted medical literature for a long time. Till date, 11 cases of dependence to mephentermine have been published. In this report, a case of mephentermine dependence is being discussed. The patient was a young adult male who was dependent to mephentermine for nearly 3 years. He was an athlete and was introduced to mephentermine by his peer for enhancing performance. He did not develop any major physical or psychiatric issue due to the drug. He was managed on out patient basis. Though cases of mephentermine dependence are few and far in medical literature, reports from other sources indicate that the problem could be more common and could be on rise. High index of suspicion and holistic care is likely to help patients and treating clinicians.
