Predictors of anaemia in mothers and children in Uttar Pradesh, India.
Article in Public health nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveAnaemia affects more than half of Indian women and children, but the contribution of its causes remains unquantified. We examined interrelationships between Hb and nutritional, environmental, infectious and genetic determinants of anaemia in non-pregnant mothers and children in Uttar Pradesh (UP).
designWe conducted a cross-sectional survey of households in twenty-five districts of UP between October and December 2016. We collected socio-demographic data, anthropometry and venous blood in 1238 non-pregnant mothers and their children. We analysed venous blood samples for malaria, Hb, ferritin, retinol, folate, Zn, vitamin B
settingRural and urban households in twenty-five districts of UP.
participantsMothers 18-49 years and children 6-59 months in UP.
resultsA total of 36·4 % of mothers and 56·0 % of children were anaemic, and 26·7 % of women and 44·6 % of children had Fe deficiency anaemia. Ferritin was the strongest predictor of Hb (
conclusionsOver 70 % of mothers and children with anaemia had Fe deficiency, needing urgent attention. However, several simultaneous predictors of Hb exist, including nutrient deficiencies and inflammation. The potential of Fe interventions to address anaemia may be constrained unless coexisting determinants are jointly addressed.
