Two cases of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide poisoning with portal venous gas treated using hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

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
Hydrogen peroxide poisoning is a rare but potentially severe poisoning that can cause digestive tract irritation and/or gas embolism when ingested. The clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic patients to severe embolic consequences or even death. There is little evidence on the treatment of such poisoning to guide physicians in caring for these patients. This paper reports on two cases of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide poisoning after accidental ingestion. Both patients showed evidence of portal venous gas, with one patient exhibiting significant symptoms while the other did not. Both were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), with a follow-up CT scan revealing a complete resolution of the portal venous gas. This suggests that HBOT is effective for both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with portal venous gas and should be considered as an effective treatment option in cases of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide poisoning.
