Fulminant Hepatic Failure Following Intentional Iron Overdose-A Case Report.

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
Intentional iron overdose in adults is a rare but formidable clinical challenge, often complicated by delayed presentation and a concealed history of ingestion. We report the case of a 21-year-old male who presented 4 days after consuming large quantities of ferrous sulfate tablets. The initial nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms progressed to severe jaundice, encephalopathy, and coagulopathy, and the diagnosis was confounded by the patient's denial of suicidal ingestion. By the time iron toxicity was identified, the therapeutic window for early decontamination or parenteral chelation had been passed. Supportive care, including advanced extracorporeal therapies, facilitated hepatic and renal recovery. This case highlights the importance of high clinical suspicion, thorough history taking, and the potential role of salvage therapies in severe late-presenting iron poisoning.
