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

This study assesses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on enquiry numbers to the United Kingdom (UK) National Poisons Information Service (NPIS) to inform public health interventions. Phone enquiries were extracted and analysed from the UK Poisons Information Database (UKPID) in calendar years 2018 to 2020. Data collected included information on call, patient, and exposure characteristics for all enquiries and for specific enquiries involving selected agents of interest. During the first national lockdown there was a significant decrease in the proportion of enquiries about intentional exposures (20.6%) compared to pre lockdown (26%) and control periods (22.6%) (
