A Two-year Retrospective Observational Cohort Study of Benzodiazepine Overdose Cases in the Emergency Department.
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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: Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is a significant health concern in developing countries, associated with high morbidity and mortality. Several factors influence patient outcomes. This study aimed to better understand the profile and outcomes of patients with benzodiazepine (BZD) overdose. Materials and methods: This two-year analysis conducted in the Emergency Department (ED) focused on patients with DSH and BZD toxicity. Key factors and outcomes were recorded and analyzed. Results: The study included 95 patients with BZD overdoses, some of whom had also taken other drugs. The mean age was 36.52 (SD: 14.2) years, with a female predominance (59.9%). The most common reasons for DSH were interpersonal issues, such as relationship failure ( Conclusion: Middle-aged females were most frequently involved in DSH cases. Single-drug BZD overdose was more common in this age-group. The predominant symptoms included drowsiness and gastrointestinal complaints. Most patients required hospital admission.
