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

Purpose: The aim of this study is to present a case of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in a 29-year-old female patient, and to discuss the applied treatment strategies. Case description: A 29-year-old female patient was admitted to the Toxicology Department due to acute CO poisoning. Improvement was achieved following oxygen therapy, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). After 38 days, a decline in cognitive and functional status was observed. The patient was re-hospitalized in the Neurology Department, where delayed encephalopathy after acute CO poisoning (DEACMP) was diagnosed. Pharmacological treatment proved ineffective. Comprehensive therapy was applied in the Rehabilitation Department, including cognitive, motor, and speech therapy, along with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This approach led to a significant improvement in the patient's neurological status. Comment: DEACMP is a serious complication that may occur after asymptomatic CO exposure or following transient clinical improvement. In the presented case, HBOT proved an effective treatment modality, both in the acute phase and during the management of long-term neurological sequelae.
