Transient neonatal zinc deficiency in a 3-month-old infant: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2025. 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
Zinc deficiency can be inherited, such as in the case of acrodermatitis enteropathica or acquired. In both cases, patients will present typical acral and periorificial skin lesions, and seldom, diarrhea as well as secondary alopecia. In this report, we provide a case of transient neonatal zinc deficiency in a 3-month-old breastfed girl who presented with classical skin lesions of zinc deficiency. The diagnosis was determined following the results of blood tests, which indicated a combination of low plasma phosphatase alkaline and zinc levels. To support the diagnosis, genetic testing was performed on the mother to detect a mutation in the SLC30A2 gene. However, the results were inconclusive as a variant of unknown significance was found. After starting zinc supplementation, the skin lesions completely resolved a few weeks later without any recurrence.
