Iron deficiency anaemia in pregnancy: A contemporary review.
Review in Obstetric medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 papers, 2 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
Iron deficiency anaemia is a global health problem, which particularly affects pregnant women. Iron deficiency anaemia during pregnancy is associated with increased maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Maternal iron deficiency may also be associated with neurocognitive deficits in infants. Iron requirements increase during pregnancy and are influenced by hepcidin, the master regulator of iron homeostasis. The enduring global burden of maternal anaemia suggests that currently employed iron supplementation strategies are suboptimal. Recent developments in our understanding of systemic and placental iron homeostasis may improve therapeutic effectiveness by altering the dose and frequency of oral iron. Intravenous iron appears to be a safe treatment to correct maternal anaemia rapidly but research on patient-centred outcomes and cost-effectiveness is needed. Future trials should be adequately powered to assess outcomes relevant to pregnant women.
