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: Iodine deficiency threatens women of reproductive-age (15-49 years) worldwide, increasing risks of thyroid dysfunction and developmental abnormalities. Accurate trend prediction is essential for targeted prevention strategies. Purpose: To investigates the global, regional, and national disease burden of iodine deficiency among reproductive-age women from 1990 to 2019, as well as projected trends through 2035. Patients and methods: Using Global Burden of Disease 2019 data, we assessed prevalence, mortality, years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across 204 countries/territories (1990-2019). Age-period-cohort Bayesian model was used to predict trends from 2020 to 2035. Results: In 2019, 81.4 million women of reproductive age globally had iodine deficiency (age-standardized prevalence: 2871.7/100,000), reflecting a 13.3% reduction since 1990. The condition caused 1.1 million YLDs (age-standardized rate: 38.4/100,000), marking a 27.4% decrease from 1990. Projections suggest sustained declines through 2035. Notably, a strong inverse correlation emerged between Socio-demographic Index (SDI) and disease burden, with a correlation coefficient of -0.58 (95% CI: -0.63 to -0.53, Conclusion: The global burden of iodine deficiency among women of reproductive age has decreased substantially since 1990. Nonetheless, considerable challenges persist in lower SDI regions, especially affecting women within the reproductive age. Addressing these inequities in global iodine nutrition and alleviate the iodine deficiency-related burden, targeted implementation strategies and continuous monitoring measures are urgently needed.
