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
Background: The ingestion of glyphosate herbicides can cause severe acute kidney injury. We present a case of glyphosate poisoning in which creatinine levels were falsely elevated when measured using a dry chemistry analyzer. Case Presentation: An 83-year-old man ingested glyphosate herbicide during a suicide attempt and presented with gastrointestinal symptoms. A dry chemistry analyzer showed high creatinine levels (10.62 mg/dL); thus, the patient was transported to our hospital for renal replacement therapy. However, enzymatic testing showed a lower creatinine level (1.36 mg/dL). Further investigation comparing creatinine measurements revealed a high creatinine level only through the dry chemistry method, despite the relatively low glyphosate concentration (55 mg/L). Conclusion: The dry chemistry method falsely shows an elevated creatinine value, which may affect clinical decisions regarding the management of patients with glyphosate poisoning. Careful interpretation of creatinine measurements using the dry chemistry method is important in glyphosate poisoning cases.
