Iron Homeostasis and Hepcidin Concentration in Patients With Acromegaly.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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
Hepcidin is a protein responsible for maintaining iron (Fe) homeostasis. Data regarding the role of hepcidin in the pathomechanism of Fe balance disturbances associated with acromegaly (AG) are scarce. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of alterations in complete blood count parameters, Fe homeostasis, gonadal status and GH/IGF-1 on the level of hepcidin in AG patients. The study evaluated the differences in hepcidin concentration and iron homeostasis between patients newly diagnosed with AG in comparison to healthy control subjects (CS). We prospectively enrolled 25 adult patients newly diagnosed with AG and 25 healthy volunteers who served as CS. The level of hepcidin was measured using the Hepcidin 25 (bioactive) hs ELISA, which is a highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative
