Western Bush Viper (Atheris chlorechis) Envenomation: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of medical toxicology : official journal of the American College of Medical Toxicology, 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
introductionWestern bush viper (Atheris chlorechis) envenomation is rarely encountered worldwide and has been reported only very rarely in the United States (U.S.). Although there is no antivenom (AV) specific to Atheris species, polyvalent AVs are used to treat closely related species. We discuss the case of a 49-year-old female exotic snake breeder in the U.S. who was bitten on her left thumb by a Western bush viper. CASE REPORT: The patient was initially evaluated at a community hospital emergency department before being transported to a tertiary care center for both AV administration and medical toxicologist evaluation. The patient received two vials of exotic polyvalent AV (Inoserp™ PAN-AFRICA) obtained from a nearby regional zoo for worsening cytotoxicity and an additional two vials for thrombocytopenia. Her extremity swelling, pain and laboratory values improved after AV administration, and the patient was discharged on hospital day three in stable condition. DISCUSSION: Envenomations by exotic snakes present challenges in care. If a potentially life-threatening envenomation occurs, clinicians should consult with a regional poison control center and medical toxicologist to facilitate locating both optimal AV and treatment facilities.
