Snake Venom Hydrogels as a Rapid Hemostatic Agent for Uncontrolled Bleeding.
Article in Advanced healthcare materials, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Uncontrolled bleeding from traumatic injury remains the leading cause of preventable death with loss of balance between blood clotting (coagulation) and blood clot breakdown (fibrinolysis). A major limitation of existing hemostatic agents is that they require a functioning clotting system to control the bleeding and are largely based on gauze delivery scaffolds. Herein, a novel rapid wound sealant, composed of two recombinant snake venom proteins, the procoagulant ecarin, to rapidly initiate blood clotting and the antifibrinolytic textilinin, to prevent blood clot breakdown within a synthetic thermoresponsive hydrogel scaffold is developed. In vitro, it is demonstrated that clotting is rapidly initiated with only nanomolar concentrations of venom protein and clot breakdown is effectively inhibited by textilinin. A stable clot is formed within 60 s compared to normal clot formation in 8 min. In vivo studies reveal that the snake venom hydrogel rapidly controls warfarin-induced bleeding, reducing the bleed volume from 48% to 12% and has demonstrated immune compatibility. A new class of hemostatic agents that achieve formation of rapid and stable blood clots even in the presence of blood thinners is demonstrated here.
