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
Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the epidemiological features, management, and outcomes of acute poisoning among adolescents in Beijing and surrounding areas to guide targeted prevention and clinical intervention. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among adolescents (aged 11-18 years) admitted for acute poisoning to the emergency or pediatric department of a tertiary toxicological referral center in Beijing between January 2021 and December 2023. Data on demographics, exposure characteristics, toxic agents, treatments, and clinical outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: Among the 915 included cases, there was a significant female predominance (72.5%). Intentional self-harm accounted for the vast majority of incidents (94.5%), with oral ingestion being the primary route (99.5%). A high prevalence of preexisting psychiatric disorders was observed (60.1%). Pharmaceutical poisoning was the most common type (78.1%), followed by pesticides (12.5%). Common interventions included gastrointestinal decontamination (55.7%), extracorporeal elimination (22.3%), and antidote administration (3.1%). While most cases resulted in favorable outcomes (98.7%), adverse outcomes occurred in 1.3% of cases and were primarily associated with herbicide exposure. Logistic regression identified younger age, prehospital interventions, preexisting neuropsychiatric disorders, pesticide exposure, multi-agent mixed exposures, industrial chemical poisoning, and intentional self-harm as significant predictors of hospitalization. Conclusion: The findings underscore the critical importance of strengthening mental health support for adolescents and implementing stricter controls on the accessibility of psychotropic medications and highly toxic pesticides.
