Review is soon up and includes nothing toxic (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poisonous

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'toxic' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'review is soon up and includes nothing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'is' is found in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
'nothing' could be 'o' (looks like zero - 0) and 'o' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for poisonous that I've seen before include "Of matter, likely to kill" , "Toxic, venomous" , "Potentially deadly" , "Noxious; malicious" , "offensive" .)
