Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Patient With Ventricular Septal Defect and Marijuana Consumption: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This case report presents a detailed analysis of a 28-year-old woman who experienced sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). The patient had a history of marijuana consumption and was also diagnosed with a congenital ventricular septal defect (VSD) with no prior intervention or treatment. VSD is a common acyanotic congenital heart disease, which poses a constant risk of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). During the evaluation, the patient's electrocardiogram PVCs and a prolonged QT interval were revealed. This study highlights the risk associated with the administration or consumption of drugs that can prolong the QT interval in patients with VSD. It also indicates that patients with VSD and who have a history of marijuana consumption should be cautioned about the risk of arrhythmias causing SCA due to prolonged QT interval caused by the cannabinoid. This case emphasizes the requirement of cardiac health monitoring in individuals with VSD and caution while prescribing medications that can affect the QT interval leading to life-threatening arrhythmias.
