Effect of Iron Deficiency on Short-Term Response to Treatment in Cats With Chronic Enteropathies.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine. 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
backgroundIron deficiency in humans with chronic inflammatory enteropathies (CIE) is associated with active disease and anemia-related morbidity.
objectivesTo compare iron deficiency prevalence in cats with CIE versus low-grade alimentary lymphoma (LGAL) and secondarily, determine the effect of iron deficiency on short-term clinical response in CIE cats. ANIMALS: Twenty-eight client-owned cats with primary gastrointestinal disease, including 14 CIE cats and 14 LGAL cats.
methodsProspective study. Cats were enrolled when they presented for gastrointestinal endoscopy. Iron panel (serum iron, ferritin, total iron binding capacity), CBC, cobalamin, serum amyloid A, methylmalonic acid, and clinical disease severity were evaluated. Cats were categorized as "normal" or "iron deficient" using calculated transferrin saturation. CIE cats were reevaluated 14, 30, and 90 days after initiation of non-standardized gastrointestinal disease treatment. Clinical response was compared based on iron and anemia status.
resultsIron deficiency was diagnosed in 7/28 cats (2/14 CIE, 5/14 LGAL cats) at enrollment and developed in four additional CIE cats during follow-up. While 9/28 cats were anemic at enrollment, neither anemia (relative risk [RR], 0.90; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.13-5.50) nor iron status (RR, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.10-1.5) was associated with treatment response. Transferrin saturation was lower in LGAL cats (22%; 95% CI, 20%-27%) than in CIE cats (30%; 95% CI, 26%-39%). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: There was high prevalence of iron deficiency over the first 90 days of treatment in CIE cats. Iron deficiency did not affect short-term response to individualized treatment of gastrointestinal disease.
