1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAnorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder associated with extreme malnutrition and multi-organ complications, including cutaneous manifestations. CASE PRESENTATION: We report an 11-year-old girl with restrictive-type AN who presented with a critically low BMI (7.7-9.0 kg/m DISCUSSION: This case highlights the interplay of nutritional deficiency, catabolism, cortisol elevation, and mechanical stress in producing rare dermatoses in anorexia nervosa. The co-occurrence of glassy striae and flaky desquamation suggests a marasmic-kwashiorkor phenotype of malnutrition. The reversibility of these lesions further underscores the remarkable regenerative capacity of the skin under restored nutritional conditions.
