Burden of Mortality and Morbidity Caused by Snakebites Contributes to Economic Loss in a Rural Population in India.
Article in Toxins, 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
Snakebite envenoming is a major public health concern in India that causes economic hardship for the rural populations. We estimated the per capita economic burden of snakebites in a rural population by quantifying mortality and morbidity rates. We interviewed for outcomes of snake envenomation of 541 participants from 205 villages in Jagtial, Telangana, from 2010 to 2020 using a community-based snowball sampling approach. Snakebites caused 24.21% morbidity and 12.75% mortality. The age-adjusted mortality rate and age-adjusted morbidity rate were 11.72 and 22.8 per 100,000 people, respectively. The overall annual burden of snakebites was 31.96 Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) per 100,000 people. The mean annual earning opportunity cost and the mean annual mortality cost were USD 321.27 and USD 24,016.54 per person, respectively. We highlight the need for targeted public health interventions such as monetary compensation and community support schemes to reduce the morbidity and mortality rates in rural areas.
