Iron Fortification Practices and Implications for Iron Addition to Salt.
Article in The Journal of nutrition, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
This introductory article provides an in-depth technical background for iron fortification, and thus introduces a series of articles in this supplement designed to present the current evidence on the fortification of salt with both iodine and iron, that is, double-fortified salt (DFS). This article reviews our current knowledge of the causes and consequences of iron deficiency and anemia and then, with the aim of assisting the comparison between DFS and other common iron-fortified staple foods, discusses the factors influencing the efficacy of iron-fortified foods. This includes the dietary and physiological factors influencing iron absorption; the choice of an iron compound and the fortification technology that will ensure the necessary iron absorption with no sensory changes; encapsulation of iron fortification compounds to prevent unacceptable sensory changes; the addition of iron absorption enhancers; the estimation of the iron fortification level for each vehicle based on iron requirements and consumption patterns; and the iron status biomarkers that are needed to demonstrate improved iron status in populations regularly consuming the iron-fortified food. The supplement is designed to provide a summary of evidence to date that can help advise policy makers considering DFS as an intervention to address the difficult public health issue of iron deficiency anemia, while at the same time using DFS to target iodine deficiency.
