Pyrethroid Ingestion With Brain and Heart Involvement: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Insecticides have great efficacy and are used in homes and agricultural fields across the globe, including pyrethrins and their synthetic equivalents, or pyrethroids. Among their compounds are deltamethrin and imiprothrin, which are present in many insecticide sprays. Humans can become toxically exposed to them through ingestion, skin contact, or inadvertent inhalation. In humans, gastrointestinal and neurotoxic side effects are frequently observed in cases of acute oral intoxication. Although they have not been well documented up to this point, pyrethroids have occasionally caused cardiotoxic consequences after consumption. This case describes a deliberate instance of pyrethroid ingestion that resulted in acute symptoms such as persistent tachycardia and a reduction in the level of consciousness. The patient underwent intensive care follow-up with a favorable outcome. Comparing our case with the available literature highlighted how rare cardiac involvement is in pyrethroid toxicity and emphasized the need for further research to verify the exact mechanism of its effects.
