Ricin poisoning after oral ingestion of castor beans: A case report and literature review.
Article in African journal of emergency medicine : Revue africaine de la medecine d'urgence, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introduction>1000 ricin poisoning cases secondary to intentional castor bean consumption have been reported in the literature since the late 1800s. The lethality of ricin poisoning after oral ingestion is determined by a few factors. CASE REPORT: We present a case that highlights the erratic absorption of ricin after accidental oral ingestion. On admission, the physical examination found a somnolent patient, with miosis, and a generalized abdominal tenderness. Her blood tests showed metabolic acidosis. Thanks to her early management, the discharge was possible three days later. DISCUSSION: The toxicity of ricin is dependent on the dose delivered and the route of the exposure. Supportive care is the mainstay of treatment. As shown in our case, early management is crucial for a good outcome.
