Marijuana-induced myocarditis in a 24-year-old man.
Article in Archive of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
As marijuana, the most widely-used illicit drug in adolescents and adults, has some unknown side effects, marijuana abuse has become a public health concern. Also, marijuana affects different organs such as heart in its rate, rhythm and coronary flow; it eventually leads to events such as myocardial infarction and rarely myocarditis. A 24-year-old man without any medical history or cardiovascular risk factors presented with chest pain after marijuana consumption. Based on electrocardiogram, myocardial cytolysis and transthoracic echocardiography acute myocarditis diagnosis was established. A few days later, transthoracic echocardiography showed a small clot in apex with reduced left ventricle ejection fraction, in the absence of local akinesia. The patient was discharged with oral anticoagulant stable and without any symptoms. The myocarditis after marijuana abuse is rare. The physicians should include acute myocarditis in differential diagnosis of a patient with chest pain after using marijuana.
