Africanised honey bee sting-induced ischaemic stroke.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The Africanised honey bee, vernacularly known as the 'killer bee', is a hybrid of the western honey bee species. These bees tend to be more aggressive with a greater tendency for swarm formation. Their stings are frequently encountered with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from local to systemic effects, even with recorded fatalities. We report a case of an elderly man, who experienced a cerebrovascular event confirmed by neuroimaging within 24 hours after a multitude of Africanised honey bee stings.
