ARFID and a twist of lime- unravelling a case of paediatric scurvy.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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, considered an ancient disease, is now being seen in children with restricted nutritional intake. Often children have vague symptoms which warrant thorough investigations to rule out more serious causes. The diagnostic uncertainty, extensive investigations and prolonged hospitalization has significant impact on child's development. We have presented a case of scurvy in a 7-year-old boy, known to have ARFID with progressive lower limb pain, weakness, limp and inability to bear weight for 5 weeks which have previously been reported in literature. However, this case was complicated by variable neurological findings during his admission. Scurvy was considered and diagnosed much later in the disease course after ruling out more sinister causes. Main learning points of this case were to have a high index of suspicion for Scurvy in children with restricted intake, and to improve surveillance and monitoring for nutritional deficiencies in these patients.
