Hydromorphone-Induced Tactile Hallucinations: Rare Opioid Side Effect.
Article in Cureus, 2021. 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
Opioids are strong analgesics widely employed to treat various types of pain. In 2018, an estimated 168 million opioid prescriptions were dispensed in the United States. Opioids carry a number of side effects and up to 80% of patients treated with opioids experience a minimum of one adverse event. Although uncommon, hallucinosis is an effect experienced with opioids, which may be under-reported and attributed to underlying psychiatric disease rather than to the side effects of the opioid itself. Most of the opioid-induced hallucinoses reported are auditory and visual, and rarely tactile. Although opioid medication prescribing is decreasing in the United States, considering the continued opioid epidemic and deaths related to overdose, it is important for physicians to be aware of this potential adverse effect of opioids in isolation. We present a case of oral hydromorphone causing visual and tactile hallucinations. Discontinuing hydromorphone led to immediate cessation of the patient's psychotic signs and symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first description of the use of hydromorphone resulting in tactile hallucinations.
