Iron absorption in adults with sickle cell anemia: a stable-isotope approach.
Article in European journal of nutrition, 2024. 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
purposeIron absorption in sickle cell anemia (SCA) remains unclear and studies in adults with SCA are scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the iron absorption SCA adults and its association with iron status and hepcidin concentration.
methodsSCA patients (n = 13; SCA
resultsIron absorption in the control group ranged from 0.3 to 26.5% (median = 0.9%), while it varied from 0.3 to 5.4% in SCAio+ (median = 0.5%) and from 0.3 to 64.2% in the SCAio- (median = 6.9%). Hepcidin median values were 14.1 ng/mL (3.0-31.9 ng/mL) in SCAio-, 6.2 ng/mL (3.3-7.8 ng/mL) in SCAio + and 6.2 ng/mL (0.6-9.3 ng/mL) in control. Iron absorption was associated with ferritin level (r = - 0.641; p = 0.018) and liver iron concentration (LIC; r = - 0.786; p = 0.036) in the SCA
conclusionOur data suggest that SCAio- individuals may be at risk of developing primary IO. Simultaneously, secondary IO may induce physiological adaptation, resulting in reduced iron absorption. Further studies evaluating intestinal iron absorption using larger sample sizes should be conducted to help establish a safe nutrition approach to be adopted and to ensure the security of food-fortifying public policies for these patients.
