Scurvy: A Diagnosis Not to Be Missed.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Vitamin C deficiency, one of the oldest-known nutritional disorders, is now uncommon in high-income countries. Recently, however, there has been an increase in cases of vitamin C deficiency, also known as scurvy. We report three adult patients with histories of homelessness, food insecurity, and poor nutrition, making them particularly vulnerable to restrictive diets and at increased risk for scurvy. After proper diagnosis and treatment, favorable outcomes can be rapidly obtained. This case series emphasizes the importance of keeping a broad differential diagnosis and inquiring about nutritional history in patients presenting with purpura, gingival bleeding, and body hair changes.
