Out of the Blue: Methemoglobinemia Associated With the Use of Amyl Nitrite in Rush Poppers for Erectile Stimulation.

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
We report a clinical scenario involving a 51-year-old male patient with a history of prediabetes and gastritis who exhibited altered mental status following the consumption of poppers, a supplement containing nitrites, which is used for erectile stimulation. Shortly after the ingestion, the patient experienced convulsions, foaming at the mouth, and subsequently developed altered mental status and severe respiratory distress. The diagnosis of methemoglobinemia was confirmed based on elevated methemoglobin levels on venous blood gas analysis. Notably, the patient's blood had a chocolate-colored appearance upon admission, which is a characteristic finding in methemoglobinemia. Prompt recognition and management, including the administration of methylene blue, led to the resolution of symptoms. This case highlights the potential complications associated with the consumption of poppers and emphasizes the importance of early intervention.
