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

backgroundDabbing is recently getting popular among young adults. It is a new method of using the most active form of marijuana where large amounts of concentrated tetrahydrocannabinol are inhaled. Tetrahydrocannabinol is associated with a feeling of 'High' which makes the user feel joyous and relaxed. With increasing use of such techniques, dabbing becomes an important differential for evaluation of acute respiratory failure with pneumonitis especially in the adult population. CASE PRESENTATION: A Fifty-one years old Caucasian man presented to the hospital with chest pressure and shortness of breath. The patient was noted to be hypoxic, desaturating down to 82-83% on nasal cannula oxygen. Imaging revealed bilateral lung infiltrates. Patient was started on high flow oxygen, broad spectrum antibiotics and intravenous corticosteroids. The patient gradually improved and was able to come off oxygen completely. He was discharged home on prednisone taper.

conclusionsDabbing is a newer technique which has been gaining popularity for marijuana usage. With the legalization of marijuana, newer techniques are getting popular. Our case report emphasizes the importance of keeping dabbing as a differential when a patient presents with respiratory failure and has concerns for pneumonitis. Patients might not reveal until specifically asked about their practices.
