Acute fipronil toxicity in humans following intentional ingestion: a case report with favorable outcome from a resource-limited setting.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundFipronil is N-phenylpyrazole insecticide which acts by inhibiting gamma‑aminobutyric acid type A gated chloride channels resulting in hyperexcitability of neurons. While its more selective for insect receptors, it can cause toxicity in humans if ingested. Only few literatures are available on this insecticide poisoning leading to adverse clinical presentation. CASE PRESENTATION: we report the case of 35-year-old female who presented with vomiting and abdominal pain following deliberate ingestion of Fipronil. Upon presentation, the patient was fully conscious with blood pressure and heart rate within normal range. There was no sign of skin irritation, seizure, or neurologic deficit. Laboratory investigations including hemogram, renal function, liver function and electrolyte are within normal limit. The patient received supportive management and was discharged after two days of observation with favourable outcome.
conclusionFipronil poisoning is often asymptomatic; however, when symptoms occur, they primarily include vomiting, nausea, and seizures. The outcome is favourable. The mainstay of treatment is supportive treatment and seizure control. Given the availability of limited data, gastric lavage is not highly recommended.
