Acute Kidney Failure and Myocarditis Triggered by Magic Mushroom Toxicity in a Patient With Prior Cocaine Exposure.
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
Magic mushroom poisoning can be associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), primarily due to ischemic acute tubular necrosis (ATN). Additionally, the use of cocaine can lead to both venous and arterial thrombosis through its vasoconstrictive and prothrombotic effects. In this article, a middle-aged gentleman with a previous history of cocaine use was admitted with severe anuric AKI requiring dialysis after magic mushroom poisoning. He developed supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) with significantly raised troponin T and severe left ventricular dysfunction, which was thought to be due to myocarditis induced by magic mushrooms. In addition, imaging revealed extensive thrombosis in multiple blood vessels, including the abdominal aorta, superior mesenteric artery (SMA), and bilateral iliac arteries, resulting in right kidney infarction and a pulmonary embolism in the right lower lobe. There is also a possibility that psilocybin-containing magic mushrooms may induce vasoconstriction, which could theoretically contribute to thrombotic events. However, direct evidence linking psilocybin to thrombosis remains limited.
