Brugada Electrocardiogram Pattern Induced by Recreational Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC): A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Brugada electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern describes a characteristic right bundle branch block (RBBB) appearance with persistent ST-segment elevation in precordial leads V1 to V3, often associated with Brugada syndrome, a genetic sodium channelopathy, in the absence of ischemic or structural heart disease. Known triggers such as fever, electrolyte abnormalities, medications, or recreational drugs may elicit such an ECG pattern without a clear clinical significance yet creating a dilemma for clinicians providing care in the urgent setting. We present a case of reversible Brugada electrocardiogram pattern (BEP) after recreational use of delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and explore the need for further research on the safety of such an over-the-counter supplement.
