Manganese Encephalopathy Caused by Homemade Methcathinone (Ephedrone) Prevalence in Poland.
Article in Nutrients, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Manganese encephalopathy is a known disorder in occupational medicine. A serious phenomenon has been the emergence of manganese encephalopathy in intravenous users of homemade methcathinone (ephedrone). A short survey was developed for clinical environments dealing with people who use psychoactive substances. The data were obtained from 72 rehabilitation therapy centers. Surveys carried out in about a third of Polish centers dealing with providing medical assistance to people addicted to substances other than alcohol and tobacco have shown that over 4% of people treated there had symptoms of manganese encephalopathy, of which more than half are people in whom the probability of a clinical diagnosis of this disorder is significant. It has been shown that knowledge of manganese encephalopathy is none or minimal in more than 70% of the surveyed institutions. An urgent need for personnel training in this field was pointed out. Attention was paid to the importance of disseminating good review articles on new and dynamically developing problem phenomena.
