Mortality. In the case of the GL with
coconut oil, four RCTs (37)(38)(42)(43) compared this intervention with
standard treatment, including 212 participants with acute AlP poisoning,
106 of whom received coconut oil, giving an RR of 0.82 (95% CI 0.69 to
0.98), with a non-relevant level of heterogeneity
(I2=0%), shown in Figure 11 (Forest plot of
comparison: Coconut oil versus standard therapy, outcome: 2.1
Mortality). In the sensitivity analysis through other summary measures,
the estimates are maintained with an OR of 0.50 (95% 0.27 to 0.93,
I2=0%). However, continuing with the sensitivity
analysis, the only trial rated as low risk of bias (42), reported a
non-significant lower mortality in the coconut oil group (RR= 0.94, 95%
IC = 0.67 to
1.31).
