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
Background: Acute poisoning remains one of the leading causes of emergency department admissions, hospitalizations, and preventable mortality worldwide. To gain an in-depth understanding of the clinical characteristics of acute poisoning and provide a basis for formulating precise prevention and control strategies, this study aims to evaluate the clinical characteristics and trend changes of acute poisoning admitted to the emergency department of a hospital in Zunyi City from 2021 to 2024. Methods: This study retrospectively collected basic data on acute poisoning cases admitted to the emergency department of a tertiary general hospital in Zunyi City from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2024. A descriptive analysis was performed on multiple characteristics, including age, gender, regional distribution, spring, and clinical outcomes. Results: A total of 3,146 acute poisoning cases were admitted, 2,789 valid cases were obtained, with an effective rate of 88.65%. The three most common poisoning types were drug poisoning (1,192 cases, 42.74%), pesticide poisoning (611 cases, 21.91%), and chemical poisoning (593 cases, 21.26%). Ages were mainly concentrated in the 10-20 and ≥ 60 years age groups, and there was a statistically significant differences in the age composition of different types of acute poisoning ( Conclusion: Among the acute poisoning cases collected in this study, drug poisoning was the main type and showed an upward trend. The high-risk groups were the aged 10-20 and ≥60 years groups, and females, with the highest incidence in winter and no significant difference in regional distribution. Therefore, we should strengthen public education activities, enhance prevention and control for key populations, promote rational drug use, strengthen problem-solving strategies for proper drug storage, and improve the drug management and supervision system.
