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
introductionDatura stramonium poisoning, resulting from the ingestion of seeds, leaves, or flowers of Datura stramonium, is a severe condition with significant risks, particularly for young children. Most documented cases of Datura stramonium poisoning in the literature involve teenagers who intentionally ingest the plant to induce hallucinogenic and euphoric experiences. This report presents a rare instance of unintentional Datura stramonium poisoning in a 3year-old Ethiopian toddler. CASE PRESENTATION: He presented with symptoms consistent with anticholinergic toxidrome, including altered mental status, agitation, seizures, dilated pupils, and tachycardia. Laboratory tests, including complete blood count, liver function test, renal function test, electrolyte levels and cerebrospinal fluid analysis were normal. Results of blood toxicology screen were negative. Timely recognition and supportive care lead to a positive outcome.
conclusionThrough this report, we aim to add to the limited body of literature on Datura stramonium poisoning in toddlers and offer insights into its clinical course and management in paediatric patients.
