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

backgroundThe iron requirements increase during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Maternal anemia is a leading cause of adverse perinatal outcome.

objectivesThis study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of the heme-bound iron in treatment of pregnancy-associated iron deficiency anemia (IDA). MATERIALS AND

methodsIn all, 122 women with IDA during pregnancy and hemoglobin ≤10 g/dL were studied. The studied women were treated with heme-bound iron tablets for ≥3 months. Pretreatment hemoglobin, ferritin, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) were compared with the posttreatment values to detect the efficacy of heme-bound iron (Optifer

resultsThe mean pretreatment hemoglobin significantly increased from 8.4 ± 2.7 to 11.2 ± 2.1 g/dL and the mean pretreatment ferritin level significantly increased from 22.6 ± 5.6 to 112.8 ± 4.8 μg/L (
