Cocaine-Induced Toxic Leukoencephalopathy, Serotonin Syndrome, and Central Diabetes Insipidus Following Cocaine Overdose: A Case Report of a Fatal Outcome.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Cocaine use is associated with a broad spectrum of neurological and systemic complications. Toxic leukoencephalopathy is a rare but severe manifestation characterized by diffuse white matter injury. Serotonin syndrome is a toxidrome resulting from excessive serotonergic activity. Central diabetes insipidus has rarely been described in association with toxic leukoencephalopathy and may indicate extensive hypothalamic or neuroendocrine injury. We report a fatal case of a 44-year-old man presenting with toxic leukoencephalopathy, serotonin syndrome, and central diabetes insipidus following a massive cocaine overdose. Despite aggressive supportive management in the ICU, the patient developed progressive neurological deterioration and myonecrosis of his right upper arm, complicated by a radial artery pseudoaneurysm, in addition to his toxic leukoencephalopathy, serotonin syndrome, and central diabetes insipidus. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case describing the coexistence of toxic leukoencephalopathy, serotonin syndrome, central diabetes insipidus, and myonecrosis following a single massive cocaine overdose.
