Drugs of Misuse: Focus on Vascular Dysfunction.
Review in The Canadian journal of cardiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Common drugs of misuse, including cannabis, opioids, stimulants, alcohol, and anabolic steroids, have strikingly disparate acute and chronic vascular effects, leading to a wide range of clinical cardiovascular presentations. Acute cannabis smoking has been associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke in otherwise healthy young people. However, it remains uncertain if people who exclusively smoke cannabis have increased risk for accelerated atherosclerosis similar to that found in people who exclusively smoke tobacco cigarettes. Cocaine and methamphetamines, both stimulants, increase risk for stroke, myocardial infarction, aortic dissection, and accelerated atherosclerosis, but only methamphetamine use is strongly linked to pulmonary hypertension. Chronic alcohol use is strongly associated with chronic hypertension and hemorrhagic stroke, but perhaps confers a lower risk for myocardial infarction. Finally, anabolic steroid use, presumably through adverse effects on circulating lipids and the hematopoietic system, is associated with increased risk for accelerated atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. Physicians, especially cardiologists, emergency medicine, and internal medicine physicians, should be familiar with the short- and long-term vascular consequences of use of these substances, thereby ensuring appropriate, specific, and informed counselling and treatment.
