The effect of maternal anemia on different anthropometric parameters of newborns - A case-control study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. 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
Background and Aims: Complex interaction of maternal environment has been considered to play pivotal role in fetal survival including postnatal growth and future development. Anemia during pregnancy is being studied as a major determinant of obstetric outcome and effect on anthropometric parameters of newborns. Accordingly, an attempt was made to study the effects of maternal anemia on birth weight (BW) and other parameters of newborns while keeping attention on different maternal bio-social proximates. Methods: An observational study included 200 mother-newborn dyad: newborns of mothers suffering from anemia during pregnancy and another group consisting of newborns born to non-anemic mothers. Appropriate statistical analysis was done to interpret the anthropometric data of newborns to assess the relationship between maternal factors including anemia and neonatal outcome before the results of the study were compared with similar types of studies performed earlier on different population groups. Results: Significant differences ( Conclusions: Maternal anemia as an individual factor can significantly explain variations of different birth parameters of newborns which could be possibly due to its chronic effect on growth potential rather than its acute effect which is usually exerted on birth weight alone.
