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

Cade oil, widely used in traditional Moroccan medicine for its perceived therapeutic properties, can lead to severe toxicity when ingested or applied extensively to the skin, particularly in infants and young children. We report two cases of toddlers who developed altered consciousness following widespread topical application. Laboratory findings revealed mild hepatic cytolysis and inflammatory markers, though imaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis were normal. Both patients responded well to supportive care, including thorough decontamination and close clinical monitoring, and made a full recovery. These cases highlight the potential dangers of unregulated traditional treatments and underscore the need for greater public awareness, early clinical recognition, and appropriate medical intervention to prevent life-threatening complications.
