Management of Suspected α-Pyrrolidinoisohexanophenone (α-PiHP)-Related Hyperthermia in a Young Adult: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Synthetic cathinones, commonly known as "bath salts," have been increasingly implicated in severe health incidents. α-Pyrrolidinoisohexanophenone (α-PiHP) is one of the substances for which clinical data remain limited. In this article, we report a case of a 32-year-old male patient who ingested five grams of α-PiHP in a suicide attempt, resulting in hyperthermia and severe complications, including rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. Despite the lack of confirmation for α-PiHP intoxication in toxicology screens, the patient's reported history was strongly suggestive. Considering a diagnostic uncertainty between serotonin syndrome and sympathomimetic toxidrome, and given the unavailability of cyproheptadine, dantrolene was administered to control the hyperthermia, resulting in a prompt and effective reduction in core body temperature. This case highlights the potential utility of dantrolene in treating hyperthermia induced by synthetic cathinones.
