The Elephant in the Room: Clinical Progression and Management of Elephant Ear Plant Toxicity in an Adult.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Elephant ear plants are popular ornamental plants renowned for their large foliage. These plants have been implicated in various inadvertent and deliberate ingestions. The leaves and roots of these plants contain raphides, which are needle-shaped calcium oxalate crystals. Ingestion of these crystals results in a localized inflammatory response, typically manifesting as irritation, edema, hypersalivation, and dysphagia. Herein, we describe a case of an older gentleman who presented to our institution following intentional ingestion of the leaves and roots of an elephant ear plant. This report describes the clinical manifestations secondary to the toxicities related to the ingestion of this plant and displays the successful conservative management approach employed following multiple diagnostic studies.
