Undernutrition and Intestinal Infections in Children: A Narrative Review.
Review in Nutrients, 2025. 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
Undernutrition affects thousands of children under five years old worldwide, and various factors are related to its onset, among which we highlight enteric infections and gastrointestinal barrier dysfunction. The cycle of intestinal infections and undernutrition has long-term consequences, such as cognitive deficits, poor growth, and metabolic diseases in adulthood. This review explores factors linked to childhood undernutrition, focusing on intestinal infections and markers of intestinal permeability that affect child development. This narrative review was conducted using Medline/PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, from July 2024 to March 2025. Studies involving children under five years old and addressing undernutrition, intestinal infections, or intestinal permeability markers were included. Exclusion criteria comprised studies without therapeutic focus, and books, case reports, or academic theses. No language restrictions were applied, and registration on global platforms was not required. Overall, the studies reported a close relationship between enteric pathogens, diarrheal and non-diarrheal stools, and undernutrition. Among the pathogens most frequently found in the feces of malnourished children were
