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

objectiveTo summarize the clinical experience of successfully treating a patient with diquat poisoning complicated by rhabdomyolysis and compartment syndrome at Nanyang Central Hospital, and to provide references for the diagnosis, treatment, and early identification of complications of such severe poisoning.

methodsThe clinical data of 1 patient with diquat poisoning combined with multiple complications were retrospectively analyzed. After the patient took diquat voluntarily, he first received basic treatments such as gastric lavage and catharsis at a local hospital, and was transferred to our hospital due to critical condition. Relevant examinations were completed after admission, and the patient was diagnosed with diquat poisoning, acute kidney injury, and rhabdomyolysis; compartment syndrome was identified in a timely manner subsequently. The treatment included hemoperfusion combined with hemofiltration, decompressive fasciotomy, and symptomatic supportive treatment throughout the course.

resultsAfter comprehensive treatment, the patient's poisoning symptoms were controlled, the indicators related to acute kidney injury and rhabdomyolysis returned to normal, compartment syndrome was effectively relieved, limb function was preserved, and the patient was finally cured and discharged without serious sequelae.

conclusionCases of diquat poisoning complicated by rhabdomyolysis and compartment syndrome are rare and life-threatening. Early definite diagnosis, timely application of blood purification therapy to remove toxins, and vigilance and early intervention of complications (such as decompressive fasciotomy for compartment syndrome) are the keys to improving the success rate of treatment and achieving limb salvage. Clinicians should attach great importance to the comprehensive treatment and complication monitoring of such severe poisoning.
