Successfully managed aluminum phosphide poisoning: A case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
introductionand Importance: Aluminum phosphide (ALP) is a commonly available pesticide in agricultural countries like Nepal. Upon ingestion, this releases highly toxic phosphine gas in the gastrointestinal tract when it comes in contact with humidity. This leads to refractory shock, metabolic acidosis, cardiac arrhythmia, renal failure, and hepato-biliary impairment. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a successfully managed case of a 17-year-old girl who ingested 6 g (2 tablets) of ALP tablets with suicidal intent. Although the mortality has been reported as 70-100% with mere ingestion of 150-500 mg of ALP, this case survived even after developing severe metabolic acidosis, acute renal failure, refractory shock, and ventricular tachycardia. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: ALP poisoning is most often lethal. However, there is an emerging evidence of successful use of various drugs such as magnesium sulfate, trimetazidine, and other interventions such as intra-aortic balloon pump and extra corporeal membrane oxygenation in case of ALP poisoning.
conclusionOwing to the unavailability of an effective antidote of ALP to date, we emphasize early initiation of supportive management, intensive monitoring, and potential role of membrane stabilizers like magnesium sulfate, and cardio-protective agents like trimetazidine,
