Scurvy in a Pediatric Patient: A Rare Diagnosis in the Modern World.
Article in Cureus, 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
Scurvy is the oldest-known nutritional disorder caused by a sustained lack of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Despite its rarity in developed countries, scurvy has been increasingly reported in recent years in pediatric patients, particularly those with selective or restricted feeding. It mainly affects the musculoskeletal system, the skin, and the oral cavity, causing gingival bleeding. Diagnosing scurvy can be difficult for clinicians because of its nonspecific symptoms, often leading to extensive testing and delayed identification of the condition. The treatment is based on changing eating habits and taking supplements with vitamin C. This study aims to present a case report of a 12-year-old child with oral manifestations of scurvy, discussing the differential diagnosis, clinical findings, and therapeutic approach, while also reviewing current literature on the topic.
