Life-threatening calcium channel blocker overdose and its management.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A young woman presented to the emergency department with complaints of nausea, vomiting, pain in the abdomen and difficulty in breathing after ingestion of 56 tablets of amlodipine 5 mg each (total 280 mg of amlodipine). She was managed using hyperinsulinaemia/euglycaemia therapy and other measures like calcium gluconate, glucagon and vasopressors. She was discharged from hospital in a stable condition after 5 days.
