Use of Antibiotics in Poisonous Ingestions of Corrosives and Organophosphates: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Toxics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The use of antibiotics following oral poisoning by corrosives and organophosphates is controversial. We assessed the clinical outcomes of using antibiotics in acute poisonous ingestion involving corrosives or organophosphates by conducting a retrospective cohort study of patients presenting to the emergency department following ingestion of corrosives or organophosphates who received either antibiotics or supportive care. The endpoints included clinical stability, length of stay (LOS), and mortality. Of 95 patients, 40 received antibiotics and 55 received supportive care. The median age was 2.1 and 2.7 years, respectively (
