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

Although acute mercury exposure is a rare incidence, it may represent a potential threat as an occupational hazard or suicide attempt. This report aimed to state a case of survival after ingestion of a lethal dose of mercuric chloride. A 3.5-year-old child was admitted to Alexandria poison center half an hour after accidental ingestion of 4.9 g of mercuric chloride. The case presented with severe respiratory distress, hemodynamically instability, and Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES). The multidisciplinary team of physicians faced real challenges in the management of this case to cope with the stormy course and proper timing of the antidote of choice as regards safety and efficacy together with the technique used for excretion of large molecular weight DMPS-mercury complex through continuous veno-venous hemodialysis.
