Severe craving associated with kaolin consumption.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2019. 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
purposeKaolin eating is an ancestral and worldwide tradition, particularly in women in order to relieve nauseas and abdominal troubles. Nevertheless, damaging effects such as anemia and intestinal troubles are well documented. However, compulsive disorders associated with kaolin intake are less known.
resultWe reported in this paper a severe craving observed in a young woman consuming kaolin for several years, associated with a microcytic iron-deficiency non-regenerative anemia.
conclusionThis paper allows to draw attention among physicians who are rarely informed of this practice imported from abroad and have consequently a limited role in informing patients of the potential deleterious side effects of geophagia.
