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

Aluminum phosphide (ALP) poisoning is a crucial health problem owing to its easy availability, extreme potency, and absence of specific treatment modalities. This study aimed to assess the role of the glucose/potassium (Glu-K) ratio in predicting the severity and adverse outcomes of acute ALP poisoning. The current retrospective cohort study involved patients with acute ALP poisoning who were admitted to Tanta University Poison Control Center from June 2022 to June 2024. Sociodemographic and poisoning data, initial findings of clinical examination, Glu-K ratio, and calculation of Poisoning Severity Score (PSS), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II), and PGI score were documented. Patients were categorized into two groups according to mortality outcome. Out of 206 acute ALP-poisoned patients, we recorded 67.5 % fatalities. The median value of the Glu-K ratio was significantly higher in nonsurvivors than in survivors (44.8 versus 28.9;
