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

A 63-year-old male landscaper presented to our emergency department (ED) following unintentional ingestion of an herbicide including diquat, a highly lethal toxin. Poison control was consulted, and treatment was centered around emergency hemodialysis to mitigate the nephrotoxic effects of diquat. Unfortunately, our patient did not survive. Unlike most organophosphate poisonings, diquat facilitates the formation of catastrophic amounts of reactive oxygen species leading to lethal consequences for affected cells. The body's most affected sites are the kidneys, liver, and lungs. Our patient's accidental diquat consumption illuminates the need for additional research to be done. This case report emphasizes the importance of identifying effective treatments for diquat and similar poisonings that lead to oxidative stress. We seek to describe this uncommon instance of accidental diquat ingestion, including the unique therapeutic regimen, and course of disease progression.
