Heroin-Induced Acute Pancreatitis.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Heroin-induced pancreatitis (HIP) is rare with only a few cases reported previously in the literature and the pathophysiology mechanism is yet to be investigated. We present two cases of acute pancreatitis (AP) in the setting of acute heroin (diacetylmorphine) intoxication. Both patients presented with nausea, vomiting and severe abdominal pain after intranasal heroin use. On laboratory analysis were found to have elevated serum lipase, positive urine toxicology for opioids, without any other obvious causes for AP. Both patients had a full recovery with supportive treatment. As a general approach, drug-induced pancreatitis is a diagnosis of exclusion and a high index of suspicion is required when the most common etiologies are ruled out.
