Effect of Umbilical Cord Ferritin Level on Auditory Brainstem Response Threshold in Newborns.
Article in Iranian journal of otorhinolaryngology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionIron plays an important role in myelination. Ferritin is a reliable indicator of the tissue iron store and umbilical cord ferritin level reflects the in utero iron stores. Objective is to study the effect of the umbilical cord ferritin level on the ABR recording in the newborn. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in India with a sample of 250. The study group was divided into Group A (with umbilical cord ferritin level of ≤ 75ng/ml) and Group B (umbilical cord ferritin level > 75ng/ml). Correlation analysis was carried out to study the relation between ferritin level and latency of wave I,III and V. Two sample t test was done between the two groups to study the significance of latency and amplitude of various ABR waves.
resultsThere was no correlation between the ferritin and ABR threshold as well as latency and amplitude of ABR waves. A significant prolongation of the absolute latency of wave V and the interwave latency of III - V and I -V of both the ears was found in Group A. The amplitude of the ABR waves did not show any statistical difference between the two groups.
conclusionFerritin levels effect the latency of wave V of ABR and this may be attributed to slow conduction time secondary to altered myelination. Measurement of serum ferritin may be considered as a routine protocol in newborn babies after delivery or before discharge from hospital.
