Oral Ethanol for Methanol Poisoning: A Case Report.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Methanol poisoning usually occurs due to accidental ingestion of distilling and fermenting errors or beverage contamination. The typical presentation includes visual disturbances with severe metabolic acidosis and neurological damage. A 32-year-old male presented with blurring of vision for 2 days, with a history of local alcohol consumption 2 days prior, with severe metabolic acidosis on arterial blood gas analysis, and was clinically diagnosed and treated as methanol poisoning in the absence of a serum methanol assay. He responded favorably to the treatment with timely oral ethanol via Nasogastric tube (56 grams, 0.8 g/kg body weight) followed by hemodialysis. His bedside visual acuity was normal, and his complaint of blurred vision subsided on the following day of treatment. This case demonstrates that timely empirical treatment based on clinical suspicion can be life-saving in methanol poisoning, even in the absence of typical diagnostic markers or access to standard antidotal therapy.
