Acute Massive Hydroxychloroquine Overdose of 60 g in an Adult, Successfully Resuscitated: A Successful Salvage.

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 present the case of a 29-year-old female who ingested a 60 g dose of hydroxychloroquine in a suicide attempt. This report details the acute clinical presentation, successful management strategies, and prolonged sequelae of severe hydroxychloroquine toxicity, including recurrent and delayed episodes of Torsades de Pointes (TdP) and profound metabolic derangements. Early recognition, intensive supportive care, and the use of targeted interventions-including activated charcoal administration, meticulous electrolyte correction, and vasoactive support-were critical to successful management. This case underscores the importance of prompt intervention in hydroxychloroquine overdoses and provides a review of the pathophysiology and therapeutic strategies informed by current literature and our clinical experience.
