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

Background and Aims: Aluminium phosphide (ALP) poisoning is associated with high mortality, primarily due to severe metabolic acidosis and cardiogenic shock. Effective, targeted interventions are critical to improving outcomes. The present study aimed to compare early intervention using administration of sodium bicarbonate combined with renal replacement therapy (RRT) compared to conventional management to improve survival in patients with ALP poisoning. Methods: In this observational study, 28 patients with ALP poisoning admitted to the intensive care unit between November 2012 and February 2022 were included (16 retrospectively,12 prospectively). Patients in Group A received gastric decontamination, fluid resuscitation using normal saline upto 20ml/kg, vasopressors, and inotropes administered as needed based on haemodynamic status. Metabolic acidosis was addressed with 8.4% sodium bicarbonate. An early, aggressive resuscitation protocol was implemented for Group B patients, comprising high-volume sodium bicarbonate (20mL/kg) administered in place of conventional crystalloids to rapidly elevate arterial potential of hydrogen (pH) above 7.2. Endogenous bicarbonate production was supported with renal replacement therapy (RRT), without the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Results: Mean age and gender were comparable between the groups. The difference in lactate levels between the groups was statistically significant at 48 hours ( Conclusion: Uncontrolled metabolic acidosis is the central pathophysiological disturbance in ALP poisoning. Early aggressive correction using high-dose sodium bicarbonate and RRT is recommended to enhance survival.
