Critical Nutrients in Ketogenic Diets for Infants and Children Under Ten Years of Age-A Hypothetical Study.
Article in Nutrients, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundKetogenic diets can treat drug-resistant epilepsy, even in early childhood. However, due to the severely restricted food selection, there is an assumed increased risk of inadequate micronutrient intake. Currently, the available data is limited. METHODOLOGY: Optimized daily meal plans were created for infants and children aged 1-9 years (physical activity level; PAL 1.6) in three ketogenic ratios (3:1, 2:1, 1:1). Compliance with reference values for micronutrients (≥95%) was analyzed using the reference values of the German and Austrian Nutrition Societies (DGE/ÖGE) and PRODI
resultsVitamin D never reached more than 25% of the reference values in any age group or ratio, and pantothenic acid consistently remained at around 40-70%. At the 3:1 and 2:1 ratios, the mean values for vitamins B
conclusionsThe results illustrate a limited micronutrient supply dependent on the ratio in ketogenic diets for infants and children. Careful food selection and nutritional therapy support are necessary to avoid potential nutrient gaps.
