Clinical, Biochemical, and Electrocardiographic Predictors of Mortality in Acute Aluminum Phosphide Poisoning.
Article in Journal of toxicology, 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
Background: Aluminum phosphide (AlP) poisoning is among the deadliest pesticide poisonings, particularly in developing agricultural communities, with multiorgan involvement significantly affecting the poisoned patient's outcome. Objective: To evaluate the prognostic significance of arterial blood gas (ABG), serum troponin I, cortisol, renin, early ECG abnormalities, and the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II) in predicting the outcome of acute AlP poisoning during the first 24 h postingestion. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 42 patients with confirmed acute AlP ingestion who met the inclusion criteria at Zagazig University Hospitals. All patients underwent thorough history-taking, clinical assessment, routine laboratory investigations, and selected specific tests, including ECG assessment, measurement of serum troponin I, cortisol, and renin, ABG analysis, and finally SAPS II scoring. Patients were categorized as survivors or nonsurvivors. The predictive ability of several parameters for mortality was assessed using the Results: Mortality rate was 59.5%. Abnormal ECGs were significantly more common in nonsurvivors ( Conclusion: SAPS II had the highest validity as a mortality predictor for AlP poisoning, followed by bicarbonate, base excess, renin, pH, and cortisol, arranged in descending order according to their AUC. ECG evaluation is also a reliable early predictor of mortality. These parameters can aid early risk stratification and guide timely intensive management.
