Factors related to mean corpuscular volume in
Article in EJHaem, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: The aim of this study was to define the relationships between factors other than transferrin saturation (TS) to mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and macrocytosis (MCV > 100 fL) in Methods: We studied white post-screening participants with p.C282Y homozygosity who did not have anemia, report cirrhosis or pregnancy, or use medications that increase MCV. We analyzed relations of MCV and macrocytosis with age, sex, diabetes reports, daily alcohol consumption, swollen or tender 2nd/3rd metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, TS, and serum ferritin (SF). Results: There were 257 participants (110 men and 147 women). Median alcohol consumption, median TS, median SF, and macrocytosis prevalence were significantly greater in men. Relative risk of macrocytosis in men was 2.81. In men and women, there were significant positive Pearson's correlations of MCV versus age and Spearman's correlations of MCV versus alcohol consumption and TS. Mean MCV and macrocytosis prevalence were significantly greater in participants with than without swollen or tender 2nd/3rd MCP joints. Linear regression on MCV revealed positive associations: age ( Conclusions: MCV in
