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

Lactic acidosis is a common finding in the intensive care unit and is associated with increased mortality. We present the case of a 42-year-old male with alcohol use disorder and cirrhosis who developed sudden onset shortness of breath while smoking marijuana. He was found to have a lactic acid level of 25.6 mmol/L with a significant anion gap metabolic acidosis requiring emergent dialysis. He was hypertensive without evidence of tissue hypoperfusion. His profound type B lactic acidosis was primarily attributed to a rare manifestation of cannabinoid toxicity. At a clinic visit 3 months later, he was doing well and had not smoked marijuana since his discharge.
