The Effect of Oral Nutritional Supplements in Improving the Condition of Children with Diarrhea: A Systematic Review.
Review in Pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology & 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
Despite advances in the understanding of disease pathogenesis and treatment, diarrhea remains the primary cause of death among children around the world. Nutrition plays a significant role in treating diarrheal diseases. Malnourished children who have infectious diarrhea are at great risk of developing prolonged and more severe symptoms. The objective of this study was to review the effects of oral nutritional supplements on children with diarrhea. A systematic search for information was conducted using specific keywords in several databases. The results showed that oral food supplements are effective in reducing the symptoms of diarrhea, and the success rate with some formulations reached 100%. The rate of success and failure of formulas of oral nutritional supplements is dependent on the ingredients and foods used: Supplements high in zinc and fiber, as well as the foods yogurt and lactose-free milk, had the greatest impact on the success rate. Oral nutritional supplements are an effective way to reduce the duration and symptoms of diarrhea and can be used to treat diarrhea.
