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

The global trend of increasing mushroom consumption, combined with traditional practices in Romania and other Eastern European countries of collecting and consuming "wild mushrooms", may contribute to the rising incidence of emergency presentations due to inedible mushroom poisoning. This study aims to identify the clinical features of mushroom poisoning by retrospectively analyzing 47 cases presented to the Emergency Department of the Bucharest Emergency Hospital between 2023 and 2024. The methodology consists of a retrospective cohort study including all patients presented to the Emergency Department of the Bucharest Emergency Hospital with symptoms following mushroom ingestion between 2023 and 2024 totaling 47 cases. Conclusions: In this cohort, most cases of wild/forest mushroom poisoning (76.59%) were diagnosed during autumn, particularly in September and October. The distribution of cases was uniform with respect to both gender and urban versus rural residence. A significant proportion of patients (74.46%) required hospitalization for surveillance and/or specific treatment. The predominant clinical presentation consisted of gastrointestinal symptoms, observed in 97.87% of cases.
