A case report on zinc phosphide ingestion resulting to acute pancreatitis.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Zinc phosphide is commonly used as a rodenticide and often abused for intentional self harm. For years, Scientist believed that, It gets converted to phosphine gas by hydrolysis in acidic circumference of the stomach upon ingestion. It is absorbed into the bloodstream and can affect cardiovascular, respiratory, hepato-biliary hematological and gastrointestinal tract. It also results into electrolyte imbalance and ultimately leads to multi organ failure. We present a case of 46 year-old-male with acute pancreatitis due to zinc phosphide ingestion that was successfully treated conservatively. Acute pancreatitis is a rare complication of zinc phosphide poisoning. It is crucial to identify zinc phosphide as the cause of acute pancreatitis and rule out other factors (like alcohol, drugs, genetics) contributing to acute pancreatitis. Interestingly, patient presents with only mild symptoms of poisoning as metabolic acidosis and abdominal discomfort, acute pancreatitis was incidentally diagnosed through lab investigations and radiographs reports after 3-4 days of ongoing conservative treatment. Management was conservative for acute pancreatitis. This article provides a comprehensive review of management of zinc phosphide poisoning induced acute pancreatitis.
