1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The increasing availability of cannabidiol (CBD) products worldwide has raised concerns about their safety profile; although CBD is generally considered safe, adverse effects have been reported, particularly from overdose. This report describes a rare case of a 26-year-old male who ingested a small amount of CBD gummies (40 mg) and developed marked tachycardia, complete right bundle branch block (CRBBB), and lactic acidosis. The patient presented with nausea and vomiting, heart rate increased from a normal 80 bpm to 165 bpm, 12-lead ECG confirmed CRBBB, and laboratory tests showed elevated lactate levels indicative of type B lactic acidosis without shock or ischemia. Symptoms resolved with supportive care, including intravenous fluids, and the patient's cardiac conduction returned to normal within a week. This case highlights the potential for serious cardiovascular and metabolic complications from CBD gummy ingestion in Japan. These findings underscore the need for awareness among healthcare professionals of the potential side effects of CBD gummies, even in small doses. Close monitoring and supportive care are essential to manage these cases, and further research is needed to clarify the mechanisms of these effects and ensure the safety of CBD products.
