1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundOxidative stress is an imbalance between the reactive oxygen species and antioxidant system. In this study, total oxidative stress (TOS) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were investigated with a new and practical method in childhood iron-deficiency anemia.

methodDuring the study period 80 children between 6 and 60 months were enrolled; 40 children (study group) had iron-deficiency anemia, and 40 children (control group) were healthy. Complete blood count, serum iron, iron-binding capacity, ferritin levels, TOS, and TAC were evaluated. Children diagnosed iron-deficiency anemia were treated with oral ferric iron. After 2 months of the treatment, blood tests of the study groups were repeated to check the challenge.

resultsTAC was similar between both groups (1.55 ± 0.26 in control group 1.53 ± 0.19 mmol Trolox Eq./l). Additionally, TOS was significantly higher in iron-deficiency anemia group before treatment with iron (24.3 ± 18.5, in controls groups 14.4 ± 7.1 mmol Trolox Eq./l). We have shown that TAC did not change (before treatment 1.55 ± 0.26, after treatment 1.54 ± 0.26 mmol Trolox Eq./l) although TOS decreased significantly after the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia (before treatment 24.3 ± 18.5, after treatment 12.4 ± 6.9 mmol Trolox Eq./l). We did not find any correlation between hemoglobin, serum iron, iron-binding capacity, ferritin levels, and TOS or TAC among iron-deficiency anemia patients.

conclusionAs a result of this study, oxidative stress increases in children with iron-deficiency anemia and this increase can be returned to normal levels by treatment.
