Association between acute methanol poisoning and subsequent mortality: a nationwide study in Taiwan.
Article in BMC public health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundMethanol poisoning (MP) often causes acute mortality and morbidities; however, the association between MP and subsequent mortality has not been well studied.
methodsWe conducted a nationwide population-based cohort study by identifying 621 participants with MP from the Nationwide Poisoning Database and 6210 participants without MP from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000 by matching the index date at a 1:10 ratio between 1999 and 2012. Comparison of the mortality rate between the two cohorts was performed by following up until 2013.
resultsA total of 249 (40%) participants with MP and 154 (2.5%) participants without MP died during the follow-up (p < 0.001). Statistic analysis showed that participants with MP had a higher risk for mortality than did the participants without MP (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR]: 13.48; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.76-16.88). The risk of mortality was highest in the first 6 months after MP (AHR: 480.34; 95% CI: 117.55-1962.75). Hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, liver disease, malignancy, drug abuse, and lower monthly income also predicted mortality.
conclusionsMP was associated with increased subsequent mortality. Close follow-up for comorbidity control and socioeconomic assistance are suggested for patients with MP.
