Anemia profile in patients with congestive heart failure a hospital based observational study.
Observational study in Indian heart journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
objectivesIron deficiency (ID) is an emerging problem in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and can be a potential therapeutic target. As ID is highly prevalent in the society, it is hypothesized that Indian patients with CHF have high prevalence of ID.
methodsCHF patients (n = 275) were selected and underwent laboratory evaluation including hemoglobin concentration, serum iron, transferrin, ferritin, B12 and folate level.
resultsTwo hundred and seventy-five patients with heart failure (mean age - 62.72, mean Hb- 10.54 g/dl, 188 males [68.36%] and 87 females [31.64%]) were enrolled in the study. 211 out of 275 (76.7%) were found to be anemic. Out of 275 patients. 148 (53.8%) were diagnosed with iron deficiency. 12.7% (n = 35) were B12 deficient and 5.1% (n = 14) were folate deficient. In the anemic group, ID was present in 130 patients (61.61%), B12 deficiency in 32 patients (15.16%) and folate deficiency in 12 patients (5.68%). In the group of patients without anemia, ID was present in 18 patients (28.12%) while B12 and folate deficiency was present in 3 (4.68%) and 2 (3.12%) patients, respectively.
conclusionIron deficiency is present in substantial number while B12 and folate account for a few number of cases. Substantial number of patients without anemia were found to be iron deficient.
