Properties and Pharmacology of Scorpion Toxins and Their Biotechnological Potential in Agriculture and Medicine.
Review in Toxins, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Scorpion venoms contain a wide range of toxins that interact with a variety of target molecules (ion channels, receptors and enzymes) associated with synaptic transmission, action potential propagation, cardiac function, hemostasis and other physiological systems. Scorpion toxins are also active towards bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Such interactions make scorpion toxins useful lead molecules for developing compounds with biotechnological and therapeutic applications, and as tools for cell biology. In addition, scorpion toxins act as insectotoxins, with promising applications as insecticides. This review describes the range of scorpion toxins and discusses their usefulness for the development of insecticides and therapeutic drugs.
