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

Zinc phosphide toxicity is a rare entity that presents most frequently among farmers in developing countries who use it as a rodenticide. The phosphine gas released after the ingestion inhibits cytochrome c oxidase, disrupting the mitochondrial physiology and oxidative phosphorylation and causing myocardial stunning. Here we present a case of a 20-year-old man who attempted suicide with zinc phosphide toxicity. Initially, he was hemodynamically stable with a normal ejection fraction; however, in a few hours, he deteriorated quickly and became hemodynamically unstable, with rapid deterioration of his ejection fraction to 20%. He was started on norepinephrine and then dobutamine; however, he had cardiac arrest from refractory cardiogenic shock despite resuscitative measures.
