Acute Pneumonitis Associated With the Inhalation of Pyrethroid-Based Domestic Insecticides.
Article in Cureus, 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
We report a 72-year-old female who presented to our hospital with a worsening cough and dyspnea that had emerged a week earlier following the accidental inhalation of a significant quantity of spray-type imiprothrin (a synthetic pyrethroid)-based insecticide in her bathroom. She exhibited acute respiratory failure necessitating 4 L/minute of nasal oxygen at maximum. Chest CT images showed diffuse centrilobular ground-glass opacities with mosaic attenuation and consolidation areas in the lower lobes of both lungs. The patient was diagnosed with acute pneumonitis due to insecticide inhalation, and her symptoms improved following methylprednisolone pulse and alpha-tocopherol therapy. Generally, the accidental inhalation of aerosolized pyrethroids does not induce significant respiratory symptoms, and case reports on pulmonary toxicity related to pyrethroid inhalation are scarce. This case report underscores the need to include inhaled pyrethroid insecticides in the differential diagnosis of patients with acute pneumonitis and suggests that methylprednisolone and alpha-tocopherol therapy can be beneficial for treating this condition.
