Double Fatal Sodium Nitrite Poisoning-Double Homicide, Extended Suicide, or Suicide and Accident?
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Recent years have seen an increasing number of cases of intentional poisoning with sodium nitrite. This is due, in part, to its inexpensive and readily available nature, and to the growth of social media. This paper briefly reviews the toxicity of sodium nitrite and the mechanism of death associated with its consumption and then presents a case of the fatal sodium nitrite poisoning of two sisters within a few hours of each other. It goes on to discuss both the growing problem of mental disorders, particularly among young people, and the potential diagnostic difficulties associated with sodium nitrite poisoning. It also addresses the approach to determining the manner of death, which may not be evident to the investigator; an accurate investigation is, of course, essential, as mistakes can result in the failure to identify the actual perpetrators and even lead to false accusations of guilt.
