Methamidophos poisoning: A paediatric case report.
Article in Toxicology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Methamidophos is a highly hazardous organophosphate and is known to cause an acute cholinergic toxidrome. Methamidophos use is not allowed in South Africa and therefore local data pertaining to methamidophos poisoning is very limited, with no paediatric clinical cases described. Methamidophos is an active metabolite of acephate, a commonly used organophosphate, registered for agricultural use in South Africa. We present a paediatric case of methamidophos poisoning with prolonged clinical effects. The patient experienced a prolonged cholinergic toxidrome lasting 10 days, with a period of near-full recovery during this time. We discuss the biological plausibility of the detected methamidophos being a byproduct of acephate. In addition, we highlight the importance of closer monitoring of patients with organophosphate poisoning in areas where acephate is commonly used.
