1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundBongkrekic acid is a rare mitochondrial toxin produced by the Burkholderia cocovenenans subsp. Bongkrekic acid poisoning has a case fatality rate of more than 50%, and progresses rapidly to multiple organ failure. However, limited clinical information is available regarding this phenomenon. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 77-year-old female patient with severe bongkrekic acid poisoning after consuming Auricularia auricula. The patient was treated for sweating, unconsciousness, nausea, vomiting, and acute hepatic failure. The patient died despite receiving supportive care and undergoing plasmapheresis.

conclusionsBongkrekic acid poisoning causes high mortality, but is often mistakenly categorized as a minor foodborne disease. In reporting this case, we aimed to increase the awareness of healthcare providers as well as the public about the risks posed by bongkrekic acid. Medical staff being familiar with the clinical manifestations of bongkrekic acid poisoning is necessary to take corresponding measures to effectively treat patients. Safer fermentation processes and food handling should be emphasized to prevent the occurrence of bongkrekic acid poisoning.
