Clinical epidemiology and outcome of paraquat poisoning - A 12-year patient record based observational study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Introduction: Paraquat (dipyridylium) is1-methyl-4-(1-methylpyridin-1-ium-4-yl) pyridin-1-ium a quaternary ammonium herbicide. It is a highly toxic herbicide primarily used to control grass and weeds. World health organization Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard identifies paraquat as class II moderately hazardous herbicide. Due to the lack of effective treatments to be used in humans for paraquat poisoning the mortality is high ranges from 60% to 80%. Present study has been designed to analyses all cases of paraquat poisoning admitted in department of emergency medicine Konaseema institute of medical science Amalapuram Andhra Pradesh, to know the clinicoepidemiological pattern and outcome of treatment. Material and Method: This is a retrospective case record-based study conducted in the department of emergency medicine and general medicine Konaseema institute of medical science and research foundation Amalapuram India. Result: The amount of poison consumed was significantly higher among non-survivor (22.2 ± 12.2 ml vs 154.4 ± 99.0 ml). Fatality was more common, who has consumed paraquat with alcohol then those who has consumed without alcohol that was 72% patients. Discussion and Conclusion: From present study we can conclude that amount of paraquat consumed and time required to visit to the hospital (hrs) was significantly associate with higher incidence of death. Elevated liver enzyme and lung damage as visible in chest x ray is important predictor for mortality.
