Zinc sulfate heptahydrate — living evidence map
The Atlas page holds the claims; this is how its evidence evolved.
Summary
A WHO-commissioned meta-analysis of 38 randomized trials found that zinc supplementation shortened acute diarrhoea in children by about 13 hours, with more vomiting than placebo. · pmid:39641338
In a placebo-controlled trial in patients with treatment-resistant viral warts and low serum zinc, oral zinc sulphate cleared the warts in 20 of 23 patients who completed two months, and in none on placebo. · pmid:11952542

Where the evidence actually sits
Proportion of the 2 claims about Zinc sulfate heptahydrate standing at each tier. Community volume is shown on the Consensus tab beside this and is never averaged into it.
Living evidence history
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 sulfate heptahydrate 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.
