Refractory compartment syndrome after antivenom administration for an Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake bite requiring fasciotomy for limb salvage: A case report.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Case: 56-year-old male who developed post-snakebite compartment syndrome (PSCS) of the upper extremity which was refractory to antivenom administration. He had elevated compartment pressure measurements in his upper extremity. He underwent open fasciotomy for the compartment syndrome, followed by delayed primary closure and skin grafting. He now has two years of follow-up with a functional upper extremity. Conclusion: This is a case of a patient who suffered post-snakebite compartment syndrome from his pet Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake. This case highlights the importance of correctly diagnosing compartment syndrome and validates fasciotomy as a treatment measure for confirmed post-snakebite compartment syndrome (PSCS).
