The Reptilian Renal Wrench: Acute Kidney Injury in the Wake of Snakebite Envenoming.
Article in Annals of African medicine, 2026. 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
abstractSnakebite-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe, potentially fatal complication driven by venom's direct toxicity, inflammation, and complex mechanisms such as intravascular hemolysis, rhabdomyolysis, and coagulation disorders. While early antivenom administration and supportive care are crucial, many survivors may face long-term renal dysfunction, emphasizing the need for advanced understanding to prevent severe outcomes and improve patient management. We present a case of an 81-year-old farmer who sustained a snakebite injury and developed local and systemic features of envenomation and subsequent AKI. He was managed with supportive care and administration of polyvalent antivenom in an inpatient setting and discharged with complete recovery of kidney function. This report became necessary to draw attention to this tropical cause of nephropathy and highlight that early diagnosis and intervention with antivenom are crucial for preventing kidney damage and improving outcomes.
