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

Although cannabinoids have proven therapeutic benefits, they are increasingly known for their capacity to disturb cardiac electrophysiology, particularly in individuals with hidden genetic issues such as channelopathies. This review consolidates molecular, clinical, epidemiological, and forensic findings linking cannabinoid exposure to arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. It examines how phytocannabinoids, synthetic analogs, and endocannabinoids influence calcium and potassium currents through cannabinoid receptor-dependent and -independent pathways, affect autonomic regulation, and contribute to adverse conditions such as oxidative stress and inflammation in heart tissue. Genetic variants in key genes linked to SCD (
