Abstract

BackgroundParacetamol (acetaminophen) is the most widely used non-prescription analgesic in the world.Paracetamol is commonly taken in overdose either deliberately or unintentionally.In high-income countries, paracetamol toxicity is a common cause of acute liver injury.There are various interventions to treat paracetamol poisoning, depending on the clinical status of the person.These interventions include inhibiting the absorption of paracetamol from the gastrointestinal tract (decontamination), removal of paracetamol from the vascular system, and antidotes to prevent the formation of, or to detoxify, metabolites. ObjectivesTo assess the benefits and harms of interventions for paracetamol overdosage irrespective of the cause of the overdose. Search methodsWe searched The Cochrane Hepato-Biliary Group Controlled Trials Register (January 2017), CENTRAL (2016, Issue 11),

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
