Changing trends in the profile of rodenticide poisoning.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Deliberate self-poisoning (DSP) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity, with rodenticides being common compounds used by many victims. However, comprehensive data regarding the spectrum and outcome of rodenticide poisoning is scant. Method: This retrospective study was conducted in the Emergency Department (ED) of a large tertiary care hospital in South India between January 2017 and December 2018. All patients with deliberate consumption of rodenticides were included in the analysis. Results: During the study period, 1802 patients presented with DSP, among which 145 (8%) consumed rodenticide compounds. The mean (SD) age was 27.9 (10.7) years. Young adults (16-30 years) comprised 73% (106/145) of the study population. The majority (87%) were triaged as priority 2, while 10% were triaged as priority 1. Common rodenticide compounds consumed were yellow phosphorous (57%: 82/145), coumarins (12%: 17/145), zinc phosphide (19%: 27/145), and aluminum phosphide (1%: 1/145). A significant proportion of patients (18.6%) were under the influence of alcohol. Among the 73 males, 25 (34.2%) gave a history of co-consumption of alcohol. There was a history of previous DSP attempts in 6%. The majority (68%) of the patients were discharged alive from the hospital, and the in-hospital mortality rate was 9%. Age >30 years (adjusted OR: 2.2; 95% CI: 1.00-5.05; Conclusion: Rodenticide compound consumption for DSP is prevalent in young adults and is associated with significant mortality, especially with yellow phosphorous poisoning. The current trend in our country of the increasing use of highly fatal phosphorous compounds over the innocuous coumarin derivatives is a cause of grave concern.
