The use of Modafinil on Methamphetamine withdrawal in mechanically ventilated patients.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 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
Modafinil has been used to treat methamphetamine dependence, and the medication's stimulant properties have also been shown to alleviate methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms. We present two cases of patients with history of methamphetamine use who required intubation and mechanical ventilation, one in the setting of opiate withdrawal, and the other with severe asthma exacerbation causing cardiac arrest. Both patients remained somnolent after intubation and mechanical ventilation. Given suspected methamphetamine withdrawal, they both received modafinil and wakefulness greatly improved allowing them to be extubated. These cases demonstrate that there needs to be further investigation into the use of modafinil for methamphetamine withdrawal, especially in the setting of mechanical ventilation.
