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

We intend to evaluate the association of intact Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (i-FGF23), a phosphaturic hormone that contributes to anemia of inflammation, with markers of iron homeostasis, inflammation, and bone mineral metabolism in acute pediatric infections. Seventy-nine children, aged 1 month-13 years, out of which forty-two were males and thirty-seven females, participated in this study. Children with diseases and nutrient deficiencies causing anemia were excluded. Twenty-six patients had bacterial infections, twenty-six had viral infections, and twenty-seven children served as healthy controls. Complete blood count, markers of inflammation, iron and mineral metabolism, serum hepcidin, and i-FGF23 were compared between the groups. Thirty-nine percent of patients with bacterial infection and twelve percent of patients with viral infection presented characteristics of anemia of inflammation (
