Food For Thought: An Unusual Case of Scurvy with Hemarthrosis and Musculoskeletal Symptoms.
Article in Journal of Brown hospital medicine, 2026. 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
Scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) can present with a wide range of musculoskeletal manifestations that mimic rheumatologic disease. A 53-year-old man was admitted with progressive muscle weakness and dizziness and was noted to have a non-blanching rash and joint swelling. Initial evaluation raised concern for inflammatory arthritis, inflammatory myopathy, or vasculitis. Although the C-reactive protein level was elevated, an extensive rheumatologic serologic workup was unrevealing. Arthrocentesis of the knee demonstrated hemarthrosis. Further dietary history revealed severe nutritional deficiency, with intake consisting predominantly of fast food, and the serum vitamin C level was undetectable. Treatment with vitamin C supplementation led to marked clinical improvement.
