A Study of Paraquat Poisoning Presentation, Severity, Management and Outcome in a Tertiary Care Hospital: Is There a Silver Lining in the Dark Clouds?
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Introduction: Accidental or intentional ingestion of paraquat leads to many local and systemic effects and the mortality rate is very high. There is limited data from North India and our objectives were to study the spectrum of presentation, treatment given, and its relation with outcome in a tertiary care setting. Materials and methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted after ethical approval and data regarding demography, clinical features, duration of presentation, organ involvement, renal replacement therapy (RRT), management, and outcome was collected. Statistical analysis was done by calculating mean and standard deviation (SD). Chi-square (χ Results: The study population consisted of 91 male (84%) and 18 female patients. Out of 109 patients, 13 survived (12%) and 88% had a fatal outcome. Nearly 92% of patients belonged to rural background, and 68% were of younger (<30 years) age group. Age, gender, occupation, and amount taken did not have any significant relation with mortality. Patients having metabolic acidosis (58.7%), altered renal (75.2%), and hepatic function (62.3%) at presentation had a statistically significant relation with mortality. Duration of presentation was significantly lesser in patients who survived (17.26 ± 17.23, median 14 hours vs 80.18 ± 90.07, median 48 hours) compared to patients who did not survive. Renal replacement therapy ( Conclusion: Treatment should be started early as the duration of the presentation has a significant association with the outcome. Currently there is no antidote available. Supportive treatment includes oxygenation, immunosuppression, antioxidants, RRT, and HP wherever the resources are available.
