1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Heavy menstrual bleeding leads to depletion of iron stores, with subsequent iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA). To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in treatment of ID/IDA caused by abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Material and methods: One hundred and twenty women ≥ 40 years old with chronic AUB and ID/IDA were included in this study for correction of ID/IDA. Participants received FCM infusion for correction of ID/IDA. The pre-treatment ferritin, hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC) mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and RBC mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) values were compared with the 6- and 12-week post-treatment values. Results: The pre-treatment ferritin and Hb levels significantly increased from 13.2 ±7.4 µg/l and 8.8 ±0.8 g/dl, respectively, to 111.5 ±5.6 µg/l and 13.9 ±0.6 g/dl, respectively, 6 weeks after FCM ( Conclusions: FCM was safe and effective for correction of ID/IDA caused by chronic AUB within 6 weeks. The serum ferritin, Hb, and RBC indices remained significantly high compared to the pre-treatment values 12 weeks after FCM infusion.
