Uncommon Scurvy Manifestation: Solitary Skin Lesion in an Alcoholic Case.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Scurvy, characterized by vitamin C deficiency, typically manifests with various symptoms, most commonly skin lesions. However, the presentation of a solitary skin lesion is considered atypical. An elderly patient with a history of heavy alcohol consumption presented with a small skin lesion that developed rapidly into a solitary open wound without any preceding trauma. Laboratory analysis revealed severe vitamin C deficiency (<5 μmol/L). The patient showed significant improvement following high-dose vitamin C replacement therapy. This case underscores the potential for scurvy to present with a solitary lower body wound devoid of typical symptoms. It highlights the importance of prompt consideration of vitamin C replacement therapy, particularly in high-risk groups such as alcoholics, by healthcare providers.
