Possible Coexistence of Pellagra in a Malnourished Patient with Seizure and Multiple Cerebrovascular Foci: A Case Report.
Article in Reports (MDPI), 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
Background and Clinical Significance: Pellagra is caused by a chronic deficiency of niacin (vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid): it is rare in developed countries, where the major risk factors are chronic alcoholism and intestinal malabsorption. Although it typically presents three main symptoms, dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia, some cases do not show these classic symptoms. Case Presentation: We report a case of a malnourished patient with seizure and multiple cerebrovascular foci, in whom a postmortem autopsy revealed the findings of pellagra. The patient had atypical symptoms of seizure as pellagra and the multiple cerebrovascular lesions, which made the diagnosis difficult. Conclusions: The aim of this paper is to recognize the importance of suspecting pellagra as a treatable disease, especially when patients with eating disorder present atypical symptoms.
