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

Background: Anemia is associated with fatigue, low physical activity, and poor quality of life. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a field trial on 6-month change in anemia and physical activity among nonpregnant women living in rural India. Methods: The Reduction in Anemia through Normative Innovations (RANI) Project is a cluster randomized controlled trial of a social norms-based intervention to reduce anemia among women (15-49 years). Participants ( Results: We observed no differences in hemoglobin (11.8 ± 1.2 vs.11.6 ± 1.4 g/dL) or overall physical activity (36.6 ± 2.1 vs. 35.3 ± 5.8 metabolic equivalent of task-hours/day) at 6 months between the treatment and control groups, respectively. In contrast, steps/day was significantly higher in the treatment, compared with the control group (β = 1353.83; 95% confidence interval: 372.46, 2335.31), independent of other covariables. Conclusions: The potential to modify walking and other health-seeking behaviors using a social norms approach is worthy of further investigation among women living in rural India.Clinical Trial Registry - India: CTRI/2018/10/016186.
