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

Legalizing cannabis use in various states in the United States has caused increased substance abuse, mostly among young people. There are very little data focussing on marijuana use and myocardial infarction (MI) incidence. The objective of the study is to analyze the published papers for cannabis-induced MI and derive a strong relation between cannabis use and MI and understand the pathophysiology. An online search was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, and PubMed Central to find relevant publications examining patients who developed MI due to cannabis use. Out of 32 articles that were identified for this review, 17 are case reports, one is a letter to the editor, eight are observational studies, and six are review articles. Many studies have proposed different mechanisms by which cannabis affects the body. Our study shows that marijuana can precipitate MI even if it is used for the first time. Limited data is available to comment on the mortality of patients after cannabis-induced MI. These findings highlight the necessity for public awareness to prevent the ill-effects of cannabis, especially for teenagers and older people.
