Exploring the nutritional status in adults with chronic schizophrenia: a cross-sectional study in Ecuador.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Introduction: Schizophrenia (SCZ) and other related factors could be associated with specific nutritional problems. Some serum biomarkers could be involved in the clinical presentation of psychotic disorders. These individuals could have significantly lower bone mineral density (BMD) and a higher prevalence of osteoporosis comparatively. Objective: The purpose of our study was to assess the association of key elements of the nutritional status between patients with SCZ and other mental illnesses to promote effective treatment plans. Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional study with convenience sampling. The sample was divided into two groups: SCZ (S) ( Results: The median BMI was 24.14 kg/m Conclusion: The nutritional treatment in these patients should aim to prevent and treat anemia, low vitamin D, low HDL, high total cholesterol, low bone mass, and low creatinine serum levels in these groups of patients. Visceral fat and body fat percentage tend to increase with aging and should be monitored carefully. The treatment should be multidisciplinary. More studies are needed to better understand this interplay.
