Acute Cocaine Intoxication: An Approach to Severe Hepatic and Renal Dysfunctions.
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
Cocaine is a highly addictive substance. Its poisoning can lead to potentially fatal multi-organ dysfunction. We report a case of cocaine overdose with severe multi-organ dysfunction. A healthy 51-year-old man was admitted to the emergency room due to behaviour changes and seizure after inhaling crack. Multiple dysfunctions were developed, with emphasis on liver and kidney dysfunction, due to their severity. The patient had marked hepatic cytolysis with a peak on the third day with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST): 7941 and 4453 IU/L, respectively with mild coagulopathy and hyperbilirubinemia. Underwent empirical treatment with acetylcysteine with good clinical response. Also developed anuric AKIN3 acute kidney injury secondary to rhabdomyolysis, requiring treatment with intermittent haemodialysis. The approach to a case with severe multiorgan dysfunction is described, with special emphasis on the use of acetylcysteine. The good evolution of the patient can corroborate the use of this drug as a potential modifier of prognosis.
