Middle Cerebral Artery Territory Ischemic Infarction Secondary to Russell's Viper Envenomation: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In tropical countries such as Sri Lanka, snake envenomation represents a significant public health concern. Russell's viper is one of the venomous snakes, causing local and systemic manifestations. Ischemic stroke following Russell's viper bite is rare and is underreported. We describe a case of a 40-year-old previously healthy man who developed a left middle cerebral artery territory infarction following a Russell's viper bite, despite the timely administration of snake antivenom. Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) brain revealed left-sided middle cerebral artery territory ischemic infarction. Evaluation for stroke excluded common aetiologies, including atherosclerosis, cardiac embolism, and primary vasculitis. This suggests that the most plausible mechanism for the infarction is toxin-induced vasculitis and endothelial injury.
