Diagnosis and management of nitrobenzene poisoning in a low-resource setting: A case report.
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 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
Background: and Importance: Nitrobenzenes are aromatic oxidizing nitrate compounds, acute ingestion of which can cause methemoglobinemia (metHb) that impairs oxygen transport. Clinical presentation ranges from cyanosis to asphyxia depending on the level of methemoglobin in the blood. Lack of improvement of hypoxia despite administration of oxygen can also be a clue to the diagnosis. Case presentation: A 23-year-old male with accidental ingestion of nitrobenzene presented with multiple episodes of vomiting, headache, and dyspnea. His venous blood was dark brown in color and oxygen saturation was not improving despite high-flow oxygen. He was managed with methylene blue and Vitamin C on this background with an appropriate history of nitrobenzene ingestion. Discussion: Acute nitrobenzene poisoning results in methemoglobinemia which is diagnosed by Co-oximeter but in resource-limited settings, clinical findings such as no improvement in SpO Conclusion: Diagnosis of acute nitrobenzene poisoning can be made with proper history, physical and bedside examinations in resource-limited settings even without the aid of a co-oximeter.
