Characteristics of Patients Hospitalized With Methamphetamine-Associated Heart Failure: A Comparative Study of Enrolled vs Nonenrolled Patients.
Article in The Journal of cardiovascular nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMethamphetamine-associated heart failure (MethHF) carries devastating individual and societal consequences; however, our understanding of this condition is limited.
objectiveThe objective of this study is to compare the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients hospitalized with MethHF with patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF) not associated with methamphetamine (non-MethHF).
methodsThis was an analysis of screening data from MethHF patients who screened out of the Biological and Physiological Mechanisms of Symptom Clusters in Heart Failure study and a subset of non-MethHF patients enrolled in the study. Descriptive and comparative statistics were used.
resultsPatients hospitalized with MethHF (n = 99), compared with non-MethHF (n = 87), were significantly younger, more often male, more likely from urban areas, and had higher rates of prior emergency room usage. Patients with MethHF also had more nonischemic etiologies and reduced ejection fraction. Nearly a third of patients with MethHF also had a new diagnosis of HF.
conclusionsThere are a few notable differences in sociodemographic and clinical characteristics between patients hospitalized with MethHF versus non-MethHF.
