Pulmonary Embolism: A Complication of COVID-19 or Drug Abuse?
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Our patient was a young male who had presented to the emergency room with complaints of shortness of breath for three days. His workup was suggestive of a pulmonary embolism. The patient had a history of COVID-19 pneumonia six months prior to this admission, from which he recovered completely. He denied use of recreational marijuana (smoking or edibles initially) but later accepted to smoking marijuana. In fact, he had increased the dose and frequency over the last six months. The COVID-19 infection had a strong impact on his mental health, which pushed him to increase marijuana use. Our case report highlights drug abuse as a risk factor for venous thromboembolism, confounded by the recent COVID-19 infection.
