Correlations Between Iron Status and Body Composition in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Background: Our study aimed to investigate the association between iron metabolism and body composition in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A total of 824 patients with T2DM were enrolled. Measurements of body composition were obtained by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Patients were stratified into three groups according to their sex-specific ferritin levels. Basic information, laboratory results, and body composition were collected. Results: Serum iron and transferrin saturation (TSAT) were increased significantly with increased serum ferritin (all Conclusion: Higher serum iron and ferritin concentrations were positively associated with a higher VF. Higher serum iron concentrations were positively correlated with a high A/G ratio. This study indicates the potential relationship between iron overload and the body composition in patients with T2DM.
