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

backgroundDelphinium denudatum (jadwār) is a traditional South Asian herbal root containing aconitine-like alkaloids that cause sodium channel-mediated cardiotoxicity. Human toxicity data remain limited, particularly from resource-limited settings. CASE SUMMARY: A man in his late 20s presented 6 hours after accidental ingestion of Ddenudatum root with palpitations and autonomic symptoms. Continuous electrocardiographic monitoring revealed frequent ventricular ectopy with nonsustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. He was treated with intravenous lidocaine and magnesium sulfate, resulting in rapid suppression of ventricular arrhythmias. Lidocaine infusion was continued for 24 hours given uncertain toxin pharmacokinetics, followed by extended telemetry observation. DISCUSSION: This case demonstrates mechanism-based antiarrhythmic therapy for aconitine-like poisoning and highlights the importance of prolonged monitoring given the risk of delayed malignant arrhythmias. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Early sodium-channel blockade with lidocaine and structured cardiac monitoring can be lifesaving in plant-based cardiotoxicity.
