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

Recreational use of methamphetamines has greatly increased in frequency across the world. Like other stimulants, methamphetamines can cause several health consequences, and their addictive nature can lead to psychiatric disorders. Suicidal ideation and attempts are common in methamphetamine users and have become a leading cause of death next to incidental overdoses. In the current report, we review a case of a methamphetamine user who attempted suicide by jumping off a bridge. Further, we contextualize this case by reviewing recent literature on the relationship between methamphetamine use and suicide.
