The Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdown on Pediatric Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases: A Narrative Review.
Review in Nutrients, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
SARS-CoV-2 was the first pathogen implied in a worldwide health emergency in the last decade. Containment measures have been adopted by various countries to try to stop infection spread. Children and adolescents have been less clinically involved by COVID-19, but the pandemic and consequent containment measures have had an important influence on the developmental ages. The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown periods have influenced the nutrition and lifestyles of children and adolescents, playing an epigenetic role in the development of nutrition and metabolic diseases in this delicate age group. The aim of our review is to investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on nutrition and metabolic diseases in the developmental ages. Moreover, we have analyzed the effect of different containment measures in children and adolescents. An increase in being overweight, obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus has been detected. Concerning type 1 diabetes mellitus, although a validated mechanism possibly linking COVID-19 with new onset type 1 diabetes mellitus has not been yet demonstrated, barriers to the accessibility to healthcare services led to delayed diagnosis and more severe presentation of this disease. Further studies are needed to better investigate these relationships and to establish strategies to contain the nutritional and metabolic impact of new pandemics in the developmental ages.
