Outcome prediction using sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score and serum lactate levels in organophosphate poisoning.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Organophosphorus compounds are widely used as pesticides in agriculture practicing countries like India. Since it is readily available and accessible, it is one of the most commonly used agents for suicidal poisoning. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of the SOFA score (scoring system) and the serum lactate level (laboratory parameter) as a mortality predictor in organophosphorus poisoning. Material and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at AIIMS, Bhubaneswar, for 17 months. The study population included all patients with an alleged history of ingestion of organophosphorus (OP) compounds reporting to the casualty. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the logistic regression analysis were used for the analysis. Results: In our study, 75 patients with OP poisoning were studied after satisfying the inclusion criteria. OP poisoning was commonly seen in married males aged 21-40 years. Twelve (16%) patients died during the process of treatment. There was a statistically significant difference in the mean SOFA score, serum lactate level, pH value, and mean duration of hospital stay between the discharged and the deceased patients. In the current study, the ROC curve analysis used to assess the predictor of the outcome of OP poisoning showed that the area under the curve for SOFA score and serum lactate level were 0.794 (95% CI 0.641-0.948) and 0.659 (95% CI 0.472-0.847), respectively. Conclusion: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is significantly associated with the outcome of organophosphate poisoning and can be utilized to predict mortality.
