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.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for the period 01 July 2021 to 31 December 2022. Data collected included demographics, clinical diagnoses, medications, risk factors for deficiency, vitamin B Results: Of 366 patients (168 male, 198 female; mean age 35.95 ± 13.44 years), the mean serum vitamin B Conclusion: Routine vitamin B Contribution: In resource-constrained environments, prioritising high-yield interventions is essential to improving care efficiency.
