A Novel Case of Ischemic Colitis in the Setting of Kratom Use: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. 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
Introduction: Kratom is an herbal preparation - generally an extract, capsule, chew, or smoking substrate - made from the leaves of a tropical tree ( Case Presentation: We present a 26-year-old female with no past medical history, no risk factors for intestinal ischemia, and an addiction to the commercial substance, kratom, who presented for 1 day of bright-red bloody diarrhea and bilious vomiting, and several weeks of intermittent sharp abdominal pain. Colonoscopy showed decreased mucosa vascular pattern in watershed areas of the colon and a splenic flexure that was so ulcerated it could not be safely traversed. Conclusion: Given the lack of concomitant risk factors and comorbidities, as well as the timing of her symptoms beginning well before she started any medications, our most likely patient developed ischemic colitis due to her kratom use. This is further supported by her repeat colonoscopy 2 months after quitting kratom, which showed complete resolution. We would advise vigilance for possible bowel ischemia in those using kratom, a substance on which there is currently limited knowledge.
