Dual-Fortified Lentil Products-A Sustainable New Approach to Provide Additional Bioavailable Iron and Zinc in Humans.
Article in Current developments in nutrition, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundIron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies are global health problems affecting 20% and 33% of the world's population, respectively. Lentil (
objectiveWe developed a dual-fortification protocol to fortify 3 milled lentil product types (LPTs) [red-football (RF), red-split (RS), and yellow-split (YS)], with NaFeEDTA and ZnSO
methodsAppropriate Fe and Zn doses were determined to fortify lentils based on RDAs. Relative Fe bioavailability (RFeB%) and phytic acid (PA) content were assessed using an in vitro Caco-2 cell bioassay and PA analysis, respectively. One-factor ANOVA determined the differences in colorimetric score; concentrations of Fe, Zn, and PA; and RFeB% among samples. The least significant difference was calculated with significance level set at
resultsFe and Zn concentration and RFeB% increased and PA concentration decreased significantly in dual-fortified lentils. Dual-fortified lentil samples had higher RFeB% compared with Fe-fortified (single) samples in all 3 LPTs, whereas RFeB% decreased in Zn-fortified (single) RF and YS samples by 43.4% and 36%, respectively. The RF, RS, and YS samples, fortified with 16 mg Fe and 8 mg Zn/100 g of lentils, provided 27 mg Fe and 14 mg Zn, 28 mg Fe and 13.4 mg Zn, and 29.9 mg Fe and 12.1 mg Zn, respectively. RFeB% of RF, RS, and YS lentil samples increased by 91-307%, 114-522%, and 122-520%, respectively. Again, PA concentrations of RF, RS, and YS lentils were reduced by 0.63-0.53, 0.83-0.71, and 0.96-0.79 mg/g, respectively.
conclusionsDual-fortified lentil consumption can cost-effectively provide a significant part of the daily bioavailable Fe and Zn requirements of people with these 2 globally important micronutrient deficiencies.
