Methamphetamine Use Disorder and Inflammation: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Psychiatry investigation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectiveMethamphetamine use disorder (MUD) is a global health condition that impairs a person's health which may result in morbidity and mortality. Inflammation is a crucial process playing a vital role in MUD. For this reason, it is necessary to examine biochemical parameters for follow-up and treatment alternatives.
methodsWe aimed to reveal the relationship between inflammatory response and MUD by evaluating peripheral hemogram parameters, leukocyte count, subtypes, and their ratios to each other, systemic immune inflammation index (SII), monocyte/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio, and human C-reactive protein (CRP) in adult men with MUD. We included 76 adult male participants in the patient group and 70 adult male participants in the control group. We calculated the neutrophil/lymphocyte rate (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte rate (MLR), platelet/lymphocyte rate (PLR), and basophil/lymphocyte rate (BLR). In addition, we obtained the SII and the monocyte/HDL rate.
resultsThe patients' leukocyte (p<0.001), platelet (p<0.001), plateletcrit (PCT) (p=0.002), neutrophil (p<0.001), monocyte (p=0.002), CRP (p<0.001), NLR (p=0.001), PLR (p=0.004), MLR (p=0.009), SII (p<0.001) and monocyte/HDL ratio (p<0.001) were higher than the control group. We observed a significant and positive relationship between the daily methamphetamine intake, and methamphetamine use duration (p=0.002), PCT (p=0.044), neutrophil (p=0.021), NLR (p=0.001), PLR (p=0.004), MLR (p=0.029), and SII (p<0.001). Daily methamphetamine intake had a significant and positive effect on SII. A one-unit increase in daily methamphetamine intake elevated SII by 165.53 units.
conclusionThe results confirm the presence of peripheral subclinical inflammation and systemic immune inflammation in adult men with MUD.
