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

objectiveTo examine iron metabolism during the second and third trimesters in African American women with high-risk pregnancies.

designLongitudinal pilot study.

settingLarge, university-based, urban Midwestern U.S. medical center.

participantsConvenience sample of 32 African American women with high-risk pregnancies seeking care at an urban maternal-fetal medicine clinic.

methodsNonfasting venous blood was collected in the second and third trimesters to assess iron status, hepcidin, and systemic inflammation. Anthropometric and survey data were obtained via self-report. Descriptive statistics were calculated from these data, and changes in the clinical parameters between the second and third trimesters were evaluated via paired t tests. Associations among demographic, reproductive, anthropometric, inflammatory, and iron-related parameters were also assessed in each trimester.

resultsThe mean age of participants was 28.3 (± 6.8) years, and mean prepregnancy body mass index was 31.9 (± 10.7) kg/m

conclusionIn this pilot study, iron deficiency was prevalent among a small cohort of African American women with high-risk pregnancies. Hepcidin concentrations were greater than previously reported in healthy, pregnant, primarily White women, which suggests decreased iron bioavailability in this high-risk group.
