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

We described a patient who presented with ingestion of fungicide "Perfect Azole," which contains 7.1% azoxystrobin and 11.9% propiconazole. The methemoglobin (MetHb) level was found to be 80% in the blood. Cyanosis, which was not responding to supplemental oxygen, chocolate-brown blood, and an oxygen saturation gap of >5% raised the suspicion of methemoglobinemia. Initially, the patient was treated with the injection of methylene blue (MB) and ascorbic acid. Later, due to persistent MetHb levels, plasma exchange and exchange transfusion were done. Early suspicion of this condition based on history and non-resolving hypoxia with oxygen and classic color on blood sampling can lead to timely management, which is of paramount importance for this life-threatening condition.
