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

A male in his 20s with no medical history was found with generalised seizures and profound hypoglycaemia after consuming improperly stored, reheated rice.Initial laboratory tests showed acute liver failure with hyperammonaemia, acute kidney injury and lactic acidosis, which rapidly progressed to multi-organ failure requiring urgent liver transplantation evaluation.With maximal supportive therapy, including glucose, ammonia and glutamine scavengers, renal replacement therapy, haemodynamic and respiratory support, he gradually improved, avoiding transplantation and achieving full neurological recovery. Toxicological analysis of the rice and serum revealed high concentrations of cereulide, a toxin produced by
