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

The majority of acute iron toxicity cases occur in young children from accidental ingestion. In adults, iron poisoning is rare and mostly due to intentional ingestion. Physicians, particularly those who do not routinely treat pediatric patients, are often unfamiliar with the clinical manifestation of iron poisoning, its management, and its potential for multiple organ failure, especially liver damage. Severe acute hepatotoxicity treated with liver transplantation is rare in adults, with very limited published literature. We report a case of a severe iron tablet overdose with suicidal intent that progressed to fulminant hepatic failure despite medical treatment, ultimately treated with liver transplantation.
