Sex-Specific Associations between Serum Ferritin and Osteosarcopenic Obesity in Adults Aged over 50 Years.
Article in Nutrients, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
We investigated the sex-specific association between ferritin and adverse body composition in adults aged over 50 years in a population-based cohort. A total of 25,546 participants (16,912 women; 8634 men) were stratified into three groups by the tertiles of ferritin. The number of adverse body compositions was categorized as 0 (without osteopenia/osteoporosis, low muscle mass, or obesity), 1 (having one of the components), 2 (two), and 3 (all three; osteosarcopenic obesity). As ferritin tertile increased, the prevalence of one, two, or three simultaneous adverse body compositions increased, significant only in women (
