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

Methanol poisoning remains an important cause of severe metabolic and neurologic toxicity, most commonly resulting from ingestion of illicit or improperly distilled alcoholic beverages such as Moonshine. We report a case of acute methanol toxicity following Moonshine ingestion, presenting with central nervous system manifestations and visual symptoms. The patient experienced rapid clinical and visual improvement after timely treatment with fomepizole and emergent hemodialysis. In addition to standard therapy, corticosteroids were administered as an adjunctive treatment for visual involvement. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and prompt extracorporeal clearance in methanol poisoning and explores the potential role of corticosteroids as an adjunct in patients presenting with visual symptoms.
