Article in Indian journal of psychiatry, 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
Background: Snakebite envenomation is a major public health issue in tropical regions like South India, yet its psychological consequences, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), remain underexplored. Aim: To evaluate mental health outcomes and identify risk factors for PTSD among snakebite survivors. Methods: This prospective observational study enrolled 98 adult snakebite patients at a tertiary care center, selected based on inclusion criteria and data completion. Sociodemographic, bite incident, and clinical data were collected via semi-structured interviews. PTSD severity was assessed longitudinally over 6 months using the short PTSD rating interview (SPRINT) scale. Chi-square tests and logistic regression analyzed associations between variables and PTSD. Results: Of the 98 participants, 38.78% developed PTSD (21.43% mild, 15.31% moderate, 2.04% severe). Significant associations with PTSD included rural residence ( Conclusion: PTSD is a significant concern among snakebite survivors, with identifiable risk factors. Integrated care combining medical and psychological interventions is essential for recovery. Future longitudinal studies and targeted interventions are needed.
