Assessment of renal function indexes in methamphetamine or tramadol intoxication adults to the emergency departments: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC emergency medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundRenal dysfunction is one of the adverse effects observed in methamphetamine (MET) or tramadol abusers. In this study, we aimed to review articles involving intoxication with MET or tramadol to assess the occurrence of renal dysfunction.
methodsTwo researchers systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar databases from 2000 to 2022. All articles that assessed renal function indexes including creatine, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), and Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in MET and tramadol intoxication at the time of admission in hospitals were included. We applied random effect model with Knapp-Hartung adjustment for meta-analysis using STATA.16 software and reported outcomes with pooled Weighted Mean (WM).
resultsPooled WM for BUN was 29.85 (95% CI, 21.25-38.46) in tramadol intoxication and 31.64(95% CI, 12.71-50.57) in MET intoxication. Pooled WM for creatinine in tramadol and MET intoxication was respectively 1.04 (95% CI, 0.84-1.25) and 1.35 (95% CI, 1.13-1.56). Also, pooled WM for CPK was 397.68(376.42-418.94) in tramadol and 909.87(549.98-1269.76) in MET intoxication. No significance was observed in publication bias and heterogeneity tests.
conclusionOur findings showed that tramadol or MET intoxication is associated with a considerably increased risk of renal dysfunction that may result in organ failure.
