Severe Methemoglobinemia Following Alkyl Nitrite Ingestion: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We report a case of a 40-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with central cyanosis, altered mental status, and hypoxia that was refractory to supplemental oxygen following ingestion of an alkyl nitrite product called "Liquid Gold". Arterial blood gas and co-oximetry confirmed a diagnosis of severe methemoglobinemia with a methemoglobin (MetHb) level in excess of 30%. The patient was treated with intravenous methylene blue and responded quickly both clinically and biochemically. This case further highlights the need to consider the dangers of recreational nitrite toxicity, the pitfalls of standard pulse oximetry in the setting of dyshemoglobinemia, and the value of prompt antidote therapy when faced with toxicological cases.
