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

The National Poison Data System (NPDS) comprises self-reported information from people who call US poison center hotlines. NPDS data have proven to be important in identifying emerging public health threats. We used NPDS to examine records of people who had self-reported exposure to harmful algal blooms (HABs). Participating poison centers then contacted people who had called their centers from May through October 2019 about their HAB exposure to ask about exposure route, symptoms, health care follow-up, and awareness of possible risks of exposure. Of 55 callers who agreed to participate, 47 (85%) reported exposure to HABs while swimming or bathing in HAB-contaminated water. Nine callers reported health symptoms from being near waters contaminated with HABs, suggesting potential exposure via aerosolized toxins. Symptoms varied by the reported routes of exposure; the most commonly reported symptoms were gastrointestinal and respiratory. More public and health care provider education and outreach are needed to improve the understanding of HAB-related risks, to address ways to prevent HAB-related illnesses, and to describe appropriate support when exposures occur.
