Iron Deficiency in Heart Failure: What Do We Know So Far?
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Iron is vital for multiple biological processes in the human body. Heart failure (HF) patients are at a high risk of becoming iron deficient. Iron deficiency is a marker of severe HF and an ominous sign of poor outcomes. Iron deficiency can be absolute (low iron stores) or functional (improper functioning in the metabolic processes). The European Society of Cardiology recommends routine screening of iron stores in HF patients using ferritin and transferrin saturation. It advises iron replacement in deficient patients irrespective of the presence of anemia. Iron replacement improved HF symptoms, exercise capacity, and quality of life in deficient patients. It alleviates their disordered breathing during sleep. Therefore, the treatment of iron deficiency is an important target in managing HF. Oral iron is not effective in repleting iron stores in HF patients. Intravenous iron is an effective way to replenish iron stores in this cohort.
