Pyrethroid poisoning: Insecticide with mild human toxicity.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Pyrethroid insecticides are commonly used insecticides. This study was undertaken to characterize the clinical profile and outcome of deliberate self-harm (DSH) with type 1 and type 2 pyrethroids and identify factors associated with need for hospitalization. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in South India to study the clinical features, treatment, and outcome of patients with pyrethroid poisoning due to DSH. Patients were categorized as poisoning with type 1 or type 2 pyrethroid compounds. Factors associated with need for hospital admission was explored using bivariate and multivariate regression analysis and expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: A total of 379 patients presented with pyrethroid poisoning; 202 (53.3%) patients were male. The median (interquartile range) age was 26 (22-33) years. Transfluthrin (n = 48, 58%) and cypermethrin (n = 149, 50%) were the most frequently implicated type 1 compounds and type 2 compounds, respectively. Of the 130 (34.3%) patients who were admitted, 13 (3.4%) patients required mechanical ventilation. All patients survived. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, ingestion of type 2 pyrethroids (OR: 2.55, 95%CI: 1.31-4.97), history of seizures (OR: 2.62, 95%CI 1.06-6.48), and treatment prior to presentation to the referral hospital (OR: 2.99, 95%CI: 1.87-4.74) were associated with the need for hospitalization. Conclusion: A third of patients with pyrethroid poisoning require hospitalization. Type 2 pyrethroid poisoning is more frequent in clinical practice. Ingestion of type 2 pyrethroids, seizures, and need for pre-hospital treatment are associated with hospitalization.
