Scorpion sting and blindness: A case report.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Scorpion stings are one of the most common envenomations seen in the world. Rarely scorpion stings are known to cause a stroke. We report a case of a 60-year-old male, who presented with an unknown bite over the right middle finger which the patient revealed to be a scorpion sting, followed by altered sensorium and blindness. Brain imaging revealed an occipital infarct. This case report was written because scorpion sting causing an ischemic stroke is rare and ischemic stroke in the occipital region secondary to scorpion causing blindness has not been reported before.
