Delayed myelopathy in a child following organic phosphate poisoning.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 rare manifestation of delayed organophosphate (OP) poisoning in a male patient in his early childhood. After initially presenting with a cholinergic crisis after OP exposure, the patient returned 3 weeks later with paraparesis and difficulty with bladder control. The results of the MRI of the spine and brain as well as the nerve conduction studies were normal. Myelopathy induced by OP poisoning should be considered in any patient with a history of OP exposure and a presentation of paraparesis. At most recent follow-up, the patient had full bladder control and could walk without assistance. However, he demonstrated circumduction while walking with upper motor neuron signs. Furthermore, he had mild Achilles tendon contractures on both sides. To enable early detection, neurologists and paediatricians should be aware of this uncommon complication of OP poisoning which may influence neurological outcome.
