Survival of Misdiagnosed 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Poisoning Masquerading as Organophosphorus Poisoning: A Case Report.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 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
abstractHerbicide such as 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is commonly used in wheat growing regions and is being ingested with suicidal intent due to easy availability and lack of regulation for buying it. Various articles suggest high fatality upon ingestion of this compound. We report a rare survival of a 24-year-old male who ingested about 45 ml of the compound and presented with symptoms similar to organophosphate poisoning. Before presenting to our hospital, the patient was misdiagnosed and an atropine challenge test and gastric lavage was done. However, after presenting to our center, detailed history was taken and the bottle containing the compound was retrieved, following which the patient was shifted to the intensive care unit where urinary alkalinization and forced diuresis was done. He started getting better and was discharged on fourth day. Detailed history taking can prevent misdiagnosis of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid poisoning. Early diagnosis and adequate supportive management of urinary alkalinization and forced diuresis can improve patient outcomes and reduce fatality.
