Remarkable Recovery in a Patient with Lethal Dose Paraquat Poisoning: A Case Report.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. 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
Paraquat emerges as a formidable medical dilemma in Southeast Asia, its toxic effects attributed to the generation of free radicals and oxidative stress, with a specific predilection for diverse tissues, most notably the lungs. The scarcity of effective treatment modalities in resource-constrained settings magnifies the magnitude of the paraquat poisoning predicament. This report outlines the successful management of a 25-year-old man who ingested a lethal dose of paraquat. The patient presented solely with dysphagia devoid of accompanying symptoms, regardless of ingesting a fatal quantity of paraquat. The diagnosis was made based on history and a thorough clinical examination. Early, aggressive treatment with pulse therapy of steroids and antioxidants led to unexpected and quirky recovery. The case stresses the importance of prompt management and highlights the need for more research and public education to prevent future cases. Keywords: antioxidants; case reports; corrosive; paraquat; steroids.
