Comparative Study of Demographic and Toxico-Clinical Factors of Patients with Acute Poisoning Admitted to General Intensive Care Unit versus Specific Intensive Care Unit for Poisoning Cases.
Article in Advanced biomedical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: There is no dedicated specific intensive care unit (ICU) for poisoning cases due to the small number of poisoned patients in some poisoning centers and patients may hospitalized in the general ICU. In this study, we compared the outcome of hospitalization in poisoning and general ICU, in matched patients to demographical and toxico-clinical factors. Materials and Methods: This historical cohort study was conducted from September 2020 to January 2022 in the general and poisoning ICUs of Khorshid Hospital affiliated to the University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. Patient characteristics, clinical, and toxicological information as well as the therapeutic measures and outcome were collected from hospital medical records and analyzed. Results: Totally, 178 (60.1% male and 39.9% female) patients met inclusion criteria. Medicines (56.2%) and opioids (25.3%) followed by pesticides (14%) were the most common substances. Suicide was the type of exposure in 78.7% of the cases. Most patients suffered from lung (19.1%) and kidney (15.2%) injuries. The mortality rate was 23.6%. The median length of hospital stay ( Conclusion: Among poisoned patients admitted to ICU, reported mortality rate was relatively high. Patients who hospitalized in the specific ICU for poisoning cases have lower length of hospital stay and duration of mechanical ventilation compared to general ICU.
