Global epidemiology of paralytic shellfish poisoning: a systematic search literature review.
Synthesis in The Lancet. Planetary health, 2025. 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
We are in the midst of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-30), which provides a timely opportunity for the epidemiological community to assess the global burden of thalassogenic diseases such as paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). In this epidemiological review, we used systematic search tools to summarise 152 peer-reviewed articles describing human PSP cases. Our analysis revealed that PSP cases have been reported from every inhabited continent; symptoms reported by patients might differ by continent; and exposure sources are not limited to the eponymic shellfish. Furthermore, most cases described lacked demographic details that could aid in a more comprehensive understanding of PSP epidemiology. Overall, this Review highlights PSP as a true global health concern; however, the overall poor quality of available data underscores the need for greater epidemiological attention as an understudied global health challenge.
