Infant masking of recurrent hypoglycaemia and metabolic disease.
Article in BMJ case reports, 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
Hypoglycaemia is more common in childhood compared with adolescents and adults, as children have reduced ability to maintain glucose homeostasis. During illnesses, periods of fasting can accelerate a switch to ketosis. Thus, a presumptive misdiagnosis of recurrent hypoglycaemia due to accelerated starvation may be made due to cognitive biases.The diagnosis of other pathological causes of hypoglycaemia may be difficult and delayed. It is missed in up to 28% of cases. One confounder is a child's ability to mask hypoglycaemia through altered feeding, such as frequent breastfeeding. The potential overlay from confounders must be closely considered in younger children presenting with hypoglycaemia.
