Familial Cluster of Foodborne Botulism Associated with Homemade Dairy Products: A Case Series.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2025. 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
Background: Foodborne botulism is a life-threatening illness caused by neurotoxins produced by Clostridium botulinum. Although dairy-related cases are rare, they remain a public health concern, especially in regions where traditional food preparation methods are common. Case Presentation: This case series describes botulism in three family members-including a pregnant woman-following the consumption of homemade dairy products. All presented with varying degrees of neurological and respiratory symptoms. Two required intubation and intensive care. Laboratory findings confirmed neurotoxin type A in stool and gastric samples. Early administration of a horse-derived trivalent botulinum antitoxin and supportive care resulted in recovery. Conclusion: Prompt recognition and treatment are essential for favorable outcomes. This case series underscores the exceptionally rare occurrence of foodborne botulism linked to homemade dairy products, highlighting the clinical and public health significance of early diagnosis and preventive measures.
