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

purposeOrganophosphates, commonly used in agricultural pesticides, pose high risks and incidences of poisoning. In the present study, we investigated the relative risk and clinical severity, including laboratory results, of non-oral route poisoning (NORP) patients, compared to oral route poisoning (ORP) patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsA single institutional toxicology database registry was utilized to gain information on clinical laboratory results on organophosphate poisoning patients who visited the emergency department (ED) between January 2000 and October 2016. Clinical outcomes, such as mortality and complication rates, were compared using 1:2 propensity score matching in the total cohort.

resultsAmong a total of 273 patients in our study, 34 experienced NORP. After 1:2 propensity score matching, rates of respiratory complications and mortality were higher in the ORP group than in the NORP group. However, there was no difference in hospitalization time and time spent in the intensive care unit between the two groups. Compared with ORP patients after matching, the relative risk of mortality in NORP patients was 0.34, and the risk of respiratory distress was 0.47. The mean level of pseudocholinesterase was significantly higher in the NORP group than in the ORP group, while recovery rates were similar between the two groups.

conclusionAlthough the majority of NORP patients were admitted to the ED with unintentional poisoning and the relative risk of NORP was lower than that for ORP, we concluded that NORP is as critical as ORP. Considerable medical observation and intensive therapeutic approaches are also needed for NORP patients.
