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

introduction2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) is an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation and is highly toxic in overdose. CASE REPORT: We present a case of an 18-year-old female who survived an acute-on-chronic DNP overdose resulting in hypermetabolic state and widespread ST depression with associated troponin I elevation. Serial DNP levels are plotted for this patient, demonstrating first order kinetics with a half-life of 18 h. DISCUSSION: Survival in this case may be attributed to early management of hyperthermia and hypermetabolic state, as well as the acute-on-chronic nature of the overdose. Human pharmacokinetic data for DNP in overdose are rare, as are cases with ST-segment changes.
