Scurvy: Rare Orthopaedic Complications Associated with Multinutritional Deficiencies.
Article in European journal of case reports in internal medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Suboptimal nutrition can lead to deficiencies in micronutrients such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which can present with catastrophic neurological sequelae. Deficiencies of vitamin C, vitamin B3 (niacin) and zinc levels contribute to reduced bone density. Vitamin C associated vertebral fractures, although rare in adults, are still treatable if diagnosed early with a thorough clinical and nutritional history, and early supplementation. Radiological clues suggestive of scurvy-induced vertebral fractures can be diagnosed on plain X-ray and MRI spine imaging. LEARNING POINTS: Although nutritional deficits like scurvy, pellagra and zinc deficiency are rare, early recognition and prompt treatment can prevent critical neurological sequelae.Clinical history including nutritional intake and associated patient symptoms are vital to diagnose scurvy-related vertebral fractures, which are treatable.It is important to note that scurvy can also present in an adult population.
