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

Background: The objective of the study was to assess the demographics, clinical parameters, and outcome of acute intoxications among adult patients admitted to a medical intensive care unit in southern Croatia. Materials and Methods: An observational retrospective study was conducted over a 1-year period. The subjects were patients admitted to the intensive care unit for acute poisoning. Results: In all, 81 subjects (32.1% females) aged 43.16 ± 14.77 years were admitted to the intensive care unit because of poisoning (14.97% of the total annual intensive care unit admissions). Psychiatric disorders were previously established in 76.5% participants, and 69.1% of all acute intoxications were classified as suicidal. Non-suicidal subjects differed from suicidal subjects in age (37.36 ± 9.71 vs. 45.75 ± 15.93 years; Conclusion: Acute intoxicants were most commonly caused by psychiatric pharmaceutical drugs. Multidrug exposure was a typical pattern of acute intoxication.
