Histopathological changes in the human tissues in various types of poisoning: A cross-sectional autopsy study.
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 6 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
Background: Poisoning is a critical health issue caused by exposure to harmful substances, leading to a range of biological effects from mild irritation to severe organ damage and death. Acute poisoning is particularly prevalent in developing countries reliant on agriculture, where agricultural poisons such as organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids, and aluminum/zinc phosphide are common. This study aims to analyze the histopathological changes in various organs in autopsy of poisoning cases to understand the extent and nature of organ damage. Methods: Autopsies were performed on cases with an established or suspected history of poison ingestion. Tissue samples from the stomach, intestine, liver, spleen, kidneys, brain, and lungs were examined for histopathological changes. Results: Out of 52 cases analyzed, aluminum phosphide was the predominant poison, accounting for 76.92 % of cases. Histopathological findings in poisoning cases included significant pulmonary edema (55.77 %), intra-alveolar hemorrhage (48.08 %), liver ballooning degeneration (48.08 %), acute tubular necrosis (51.92 %) in kidney, and universal brain and spleen congestion (100 %). Stomach findings showed partial loss of rugosity (80.77 %), congestion (51.92 %), necrosis of the mucosa (30.77 %), congestion (71.15 %), denudation of the epithelium (48.08 %), and mucosal inflammation (48.08 %) as predominant findings. Aluminum phosphide caused severe histopathological changes across all examined organs. Conclusion: The study highlights the critical role of histopathological examination in diagnosing and understanding organ damage in poisoning cases. Forensic pathologists can use these histopathological patterns as reference points to differentiate poisoning from other causes of death, aiding in accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
