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

Cocaine abuse is a public health concern with well-documented cardiovascular complications. However, acute limb ischemia remains a rare and underreported consequence. We present a case of a 36-year-old man with acute right lower limb ischemia following heavy cocaine use, successfully managed with systemic heparin and intra-arterial nitroglycerin. The case highlights considering cocaine as a potential cause of acute limb ischemia and the efficacy of endovascular therapy. Further case reports with this diagnosis and their management are crucial for establishing the best strategies and improving outcomes in these scenarios.
