Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine Position Statement on the Management of Paraquat Poisoning.

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
Paraquat poisoning is among the most lethal toxicological emergencies encountered globally. It is associated with case fatality rates up to 50-90%. There is no specific antidote for paraquat poisoning. India faces a growing burden of paraquat poisoning, compounded by easy accessibility, widespread under-reporting and limited timely access to extracorporeal therapies. Against this backdrop, the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM) Toxicology working section convened an expert panel of 15 specialists to develop evidence-informed recommendations through a modified Delphi consensus process. Panelists rated 32 clinical statements across three iterative rounds on a five-point Likert scale. The results were presented online to the core group and Delphi panelists after the first Delphi round for discussion and to refine questions based on the suggestions received from the panelists. Consensus (≥70% agreement) was reached on 31 statements; the remaining one was designated as non-convergent. Stability of responses was checked for each statement in sequential rounds. This position statement addresses commonly faced questions by physicians such as gastrointestinal decontamination, diagnostic evaluation including the urine dithionite test and plasma paraquat assay, imaging strategies for pulmonary prognostication, the role of charcoal hemoperfusion and renal replacement therapy, immunosuppressive pulse therapy with methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide, oxygen restriction and permissive hypoxemia strategy, antioxidant interventions, organ support, lung transplantation bridged with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and prognostic determinants of mortality.
