Sex-Specific Association Between Iron Status and the Predicted 10-Year Risk for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in Hypertensive Patients.
Article in Biological trace element research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Serum ferritin (SF) and haemoglobin (Hb) are widely used in clinical practice to assess iron status. Studies exploring the relationship of SF and Hb with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk have yielded conflicting results, and some indicated sex specificity. Hypertensive patients have abnormal iron status. However, research on patients with hypertension is limited. We aim to investigate the sex-specific links of SF and Hb with the predicted 10-year ASCVD risk in hypertensive patients. This cross-sectional study included 718 hypertensive men and 708 hypertensive women. The predicted 10-year ASCVD risk was calculated based on the China-PAR equation. The dose-response curves were illustrated by fitting linear and quadratic models. In hypertensive men, the iron status fits for a quadratic model for ASCVD risk, showing a U-shape. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the regression coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) across tertile of SF were 0.0 (reference), - 0.99 (- 1.65, - 0.33) and - 0.22 (- 0.88, 0.44), and of Hb were 0.0 (reference), - 0.74 (- 1.41, - 0.08) and - 0.77 (- 1.46, - 0.08). In hypertensive women, iron status was linearly and positively associated with ASCVD risk. Per one unit increment of log-transformed SF as well as Hb was associated with a 1.22 (95% CI: 0.97, 1.48) and 0.04 (95% CI: 0.02, 0.07) increased in ASCVD risk score, respectively. A significant interaction between iron status and inflammation on ASCVD risk was observed in hypertensive women. SF and Hb showed a U-shape with ASCVD risk in hypertensive men; however, a positive linear relationship was observed in hypertensive women.
