Serum amylase as a prognostic marker of organophosphate poisoning.

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
backgroundOrganophosphate (OP) insecticides are important compounds as the most probable common cause of acute poisonings in developing countries. OP intoxication often presents as medical emergencies, and its related morbidity and mortality have not decreased despite major advances in critical care. This study aims to determine the impact of serum amylase level for estimation of prognosis in patients with acute OP poisoning.
methodsThis observational case-control study was done during two years on 332 consecutive patients with acute OP poisoning. Clinical and demographic data, serum amylase level on early admission time, morbidity, and outcome were determined. Data were analyzed in the form of a frequency distribution table by using SPSS 11.0 version software.
resultsThe mean age of patients with acute OP poisoning was 28.9 ± 23.95 with slightly female dominance. All patients were intoxicated via the gastrointestinal route. The mean amylase level of patients with deterioration of mental status, tachycardia, ICU admission, and death was significantly higher.
conclusionsAmong patients with OP poisoning, higher serum amylase than normal was associated with severe clinical course and increased risk for mortality. Determination of serum amylase can be effective in the quick prediction of the outcome.
