1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Exposure to lead among children, as well as adults, is a major global health issue. With diverse routes of exposure (e.g., food, air, and water) either environmentally or occupationally, lead among children can cause mild, moderate, to severe health complications in the later stages of life. The average blood lead level reported by CDC in 2021 is 3.5 µg/dL, and the level of blood lead toxicity is ≥ 10 μg/dL. In this study, we planned to systematically analyze the association between blood lead levels (BLLs) (≥ 10 μg/dL and < 10 μg/dL) and the risk of anemia (hemoglobin level < 11 g/dL) among Indian children aged between ≥ 1 and ≤ 18 years. An online literature search of 5 databases, PubMed, Ovid, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar was accomplished with a search updated until 8
