Error in Figure

In the original publication [] there was a mistake in Figure 1. The Kaplan–Meier survival curve was constructed by assessing the mortality of the animals at 1, 2, 3, 24, and 48 h. However, the plotting software applied a default configuration associated with the kind of graph used by which the x axis scale was changed to represent a regular time interval of 1 h (values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). The original figure is as follows:

  • Figure 1. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of (A) B. asper and (B) L. stenophrys venoms stratified into five groups (controls and 2, 3, 4.5, and 6.75 mg venom/mL antivenom) shows a significantly better overall survival for groups receiving lower venom/antivenom dosages. Lethality rates were not different between venoms.
Nevertheless, the correct values are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 24, and 48 h. The corrected Figure 1 is presented below. The authors affirm that the scientific conclusions remain unchanged. The original publication has been updated.
