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

Body iron status has been suggested to be related to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Biologically plausible mechanisms for this association have been described, however epidemiological studies on iron status and CVD risk have provided conflicting results. The lack of consistency is likely explained by differences in the study design, the measures used for the assessment of iron status, the definition of outcomes, and adjustment for confounders. To help clarify the available evidence, we report a systematic review of published cross-sectional, longitudinal, and intervention studies evaluating the relationship between different measures of iron status and CVD risk. The most likely scenario that emerges from the available studies is that, in the reference range, iron status has a neutral effect. Extreme conditions of iron deficiency, as well as of iron overload, are associated with modestly increased CVD risk, although with different proposed mechanisms.
