An innovative approach to study human-snake interactions: insights into tourists' perception of vipers and their ability to detect them.
Article in PeerJ, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. 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 many cultures, snakes are perceived in a markedly negative light, causing hostile attitudes, fear and phobias in people, which often leads to their persecution and killing. Studies on human perceptions of snakes are typically survey-based, while people's ability to detect them is usually conducted under controlled artificial conditions. Studies that simulate natural circumstances of human-snake encounters, however, remain scarce. The present study recreated natural human-snake encounters by conducting
