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

A 49-year-old woman with a history of HIV and hypothyroidism developed symptomatic hypotension, bradycardia, and gastrointestinal distress after consuming honey she had purchased during a recent trip to Nepal. Her travel history and symptoms raised concerns about mad honey intoxication. Her condition improved with supportive care, including IV fluids, and atropine was not required for bradycardia. This case underscores the importance of considering mad honey toxicity in patients with unexplained cardiovascular symptoms and a history of honey ingestion. As interest in natural and traditional medicines grows, raising awareness about their potential risks becomes increasingly essential.
