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

Paraquat poisoning resulted in multiorgan failure and is associated with high mortality. We audited 83 historical cases of paraquat poisoning in past 2 years treated with conventional decontamination and supportive treatment, followed by enrolling 85 patients over a 2 year period into additional immunosuppression with intravenous (i.v.) methylprednisolone and i.v. cyclophosphamide. Our results showed that age, poor renal function and leucocytosis are the main predictors of fatal outcome. Immunosuppression regime rendered higher survival (6 out of 17 patients (35.3%)) versus historical control (1 out of 18 patients (5.6%)) (
