1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundConsumption of kratom (

methodsUsing Wisconsin Poison Center data, we searched for and summarized all records associated with exposure to "kratom," "electronic delivery device containing kratom," or "mitragyna" from January 1, 2010, to September 1, 2022.

resultsKratom-associated exposure calls to the Wisconsin Poison Center increased 3.75 times during 2016 - 2020. Among all 59 calls, 26 (44.1%) reported concomitant use of another substance, agitation was the most common symptom reported (n = 23, 39%), and 7 persons required critical care. Three unintentional ingestions were reported in children aged less than 2 years old. DISCUSSION: Kratom-associated exposure calls to the Wisconsin Poison Center generally have been increasing in frequency since 2011. Wisconsinites who choose to use kratom might benefit from education regarding health risks and safe storage practices to avoid unintentional pediatric exposure.
