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

While historically utilized as a topical anesthetic and active ingredient in a variety of tonics, beverages and cure-alls, cocaine is a commonly abused illicit substance. Cocaine use is associated with a variety of neurological and systemic complications. The present study describes the case of a 23-year-old female patient presenting with profound neurological and systemic complications of cocaine, including coma, leukoencephaloapthy, neurogenic stunned myocardium, transaminitis, acute kidney injury, rhabdomyolysis and mononeuropathy. The supportive management and subsequent outcomes of the patients are discussed in detail. The approach to coma is also discussed, including stabilization and supportive care, diagnostic considerations and management. Key considerations relating prognosticating disorders of consciousness are also highlighted.
