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

Timely antidote administration is a critical step in acute poisoning management. Awareness of poisoning patterns and the essential antidotal requirement could improve patient care with better hospital resource allocation. This study investigates the pattern and impact of antidotal administration on patient outcomes in an Egyptian tertiary poison control center, providing insights to optimize the antidote stocking of essential antidotes. A three-year cross-sectional study was conducted at Tanta University Poison Control Center from January 2021 to December 2023. Demographic data, poisoning characteristics, causative agents, and administered antidotal data were retrieved. The initial Poisoning Severity Score (PSS), total hospitalization period, and patient outcomes were also recorded. The included 447 antidote-treated poisoned patients showed near equal gender distribution and median age of 25 years. Atropine, oximes, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), and naloxone were the top administered antidotes among patients (48.3 %, 25.7 %, 19.9 %, and 11.2 %, respectively). Mortality and complications were recorded in 5.15 % and 20.8 %, respectively. Administration of atropine, oximes, NAC, and L-carnitine significantly improved all outcomes (
