"The Toxic Depot": Parenteral Insecticide Injection.
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Organophosphorus (OP) pesticides are extensively used both in developed and developing countries. Organophosphorus poisoning primarily occurs through occupational, accidental, and suicidal exposures. Toxicity through parenteral injections is seldom reported and there are only very few case reports till date. Case presentation: We report a case of parenteral injection of 10 mL of OP compound (Dichlorvos 76%) into a swelling over the left leg. The compound was injected by the patient himself as adjuvant therapy for swelling. Initial manifestations included vomiting, abdomen pain, and excessive secretions followed by neuromuscular weakness. The patient was subsequently intubated and treated with atropine and pralidoxime. The patient did not improve with antidotes for OP poisoning, attributed to the depot the OP compound had formed. The swelling was excised and the patient immediately showed response to the treatment. Biopsy of the swelling showed granuloma and fungal hyphae. The patient developed intermediate syndrome during the ICU stay and was discharged after 20 days of hospital stay. How to cite this article: Jacob J, Reddy CHK, James J.
