Zinc chloride — living evidence map

The Atlas page holds the claims; this is how its evidence evolved.

Summary

Zinc is an essential trace element needed for growth and immune function; patients on parenteral nutrition are susceptible to zinc deficiency, which causes failure to thrive, skin rash and poor wound healing. · pmid:25681484

Zinc deficiency is estimated to contribute to over half a million deaths a year in children under five, through growth faltering, impaired immunity and damage to the gut. · pmid:25203844

Identity

PubChem CID 5727: Zinc Chloride, Cl2Zn, 136.3 g/mol. · pubchem:5727

CAS registry number 7646-85-7. · pubchem:5727

IUPAC name: dichlorozinc. · pubchem:5727

Where the evidence actually sits

Established100%

Proportion of the 2 claims about Zinc chloride standing at each tier. Community volume is shown on the Consensus tab beside this and is never averaged into it.

Living evidence history

Zinc deficiency in infants and children: a review of its complex and synergistic interactions. (2014) · establishedZinc: physiology, deficiency, and parenteral nutrition. (2015) · established20142015

2 resolved citations, oldest to newest, coloured by tier. Retractions and contradictions land here as they are recorded.

Structure

No structure representation on record. PepJunkie draws only what an authoritative record supplies; for a peptide that is the residue sequence, and none has been curated for Zinc chloride yet.

Dose evidence, rung by rung

A studied human dose exists on file. Open the rung: the dose is the paper's, in its context, never PepJunkie's.

  1. Approved-label dose · a resolved regulatory document names a labelled dose
