Retinol-binding protein, retinol, and modified-relative-dose response in Ugandan children aged 12-23 months and their non-pregnant caregivers.
Trial report in Experimental biology and medicine (Maywood, N.J.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Retinol-binding protein (RBP), retinol, and modified-relative-dose response (MRDR) are used to assess vitamin A status. We describe vitamin A status in Ugandan children and women using dried blood spot (DBS) RBP, serum RBP, plasma retinol, and MRDR and compare DBS-RBP, serum RBP, and plasma retinol. Blood was collected from 39 children aged 12-23 months and 28 non-pregnant mothers aged 15-49 years as a subsample from a survey in Amuria district, Uganda, in 2016. DBS RBP was assessed using a commercial enzyme immunoassay kit, serum RBP using an in-house sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and plasma retinol/MRDR test using high-performance liquid chromatography. We examined (a) median concentration or value (Q1, Q3); (b)
