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

We report the case of a 34-year-old female who presented with acute respiratory failure and hemoptysis, requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed progressively bloodier returns during lavage, consistent with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). This case highlights DAH as a rare but severe complication associated with cannabis use. DAH involves bleeding into the alveolar spaces, impairing gas exchange and causing respiratory distress. While cannabis use is not a well-established cause, this case underscores its potential to trigger serious respiratory complications. Recurrent DAH episodes can lead to long-term complications, such as interstitial fibrosis and emphysema, resulting in obstructive spirometry patterns. Acute complications, including shock, renal failure, and barotrauma, further highlight the critical need for early intervention. Raising awareness among healthcare providers about the potential link between cannabis use and DAH is essential for prompt recognition and management, ultimately improving patient outcomes. This case adds to the limited literature on cannabis-induced DAH, emphasizing its clinical significance.
