Cerebrovascular events induced by venomous snake bites: A systematic review.
Article in Heliyon, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Snake bites represent a critical public health issue, affecting approximately 2.7 million people globally each year. Around 20 % of snake species are venomous, and their venom contains a complex array of toxins that can cause multi-organ damage, particularly affecting the nervous system, leading to both ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular events. This systematic review aims to compile and analyze data on cerebrovascular events associated with venomous snakebites. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using Scopus, PubMed, SciELO, and LILACS databases, with search terms including ("snake bite" OR "viper bite") AND ("stroke" OR "hemorrhagic stroke" OR "ischemic stroke"). Studies in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese were reviewed, yielding 52 eligible articles reporting 73 cases of stroke following snakebites. Most cases were attributed to snakes from the
