Synthetic Cannabinoid (Mojo)-Induced ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Synthetic cannabinoids, such as Mojo, are increasingly used among adolescents and young adults due to their perceived legality and accessibility. These compounds exhibit significantly greater potency than natural cannabis, with full agonist activity at cannabinoid receptors, and have been associated with a range of adverse effects, including cardiovascular toxicity. The underlying mechanisms may involve sympathetic stimulation, platelet aggregation, and endothelial injury, which can precipitate acute coronary events even in otherwise healthy individuals. We report the case of a 32-year-old man with no significant medical history and an atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk score of 3.6%, who presented with acute chest pain four hours after smoking the synthetic cannabinoid Mojo. Electrocardiogram revealed ST-segment elevations, and emergent left heart catheterization demonstrated acute thrombotic total occlusion of the left circumflex artery. The patient was successfully treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stent placement. Urine drug screening confirmed recent synthetic cannabinoid use. He had no identifiable traditional cardiovascular risk factors or family history of heart disease. This case highlights synthetic cannabinoids as an emerging and underrecognized cause of acute coronary syndrome in young adults. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for synthetic cannabinoid use in young patients presenting with myocardial infarction without conventional risk factors. A simple urine drug screen can be a critical diagnostic tool. This report emphasizes the need for increased awareness, targeted patient education, and further research into the cardiovascular risks posed by these substances.
