Methanol poisoning in the emergency department: methanol blood levels, prognosis, and sequelae outcomes.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundMethanol poisoning is a critical condition marked by severe metabolic acidosis, shock, and organ failure, often leading to high morbidity, mortality, and sequelae such as permanent blindness.
aimsThis study retrospectively analyzes methanol poisoning cases to provide insights into diagnosis, treatment, outcomes, and sequelae rates.
methodsPatients diagnosed with methanol poisoning in a university-based emergency department between 2015 and 2023 were analyzed. Data on demographics, presenting complaints, diagnostics, treatments, hospitalization, outcomes, and sequelae were collected.
resultsAmong 116 patients, the mean age was 48.3 ± 13.5 years, and 94.8% (n = 110) were male. Alcohol poisoning accounted for 110 cases, while six involved other substances. Eighty-nine patients were discharged, and 27 died. Ocular findings predominated among survivors, while altered consciousness was the most common complaint in deceased patients. Deceased patients exhibited significantly lower pH and HCO
conclusionMethanol poisoning remains a severe clinical issue with high morbidity and mortality. Low pH, HCO
