Comparative study of the effects of different iron sources on bioavailability and gastrointestinal tolerability in iron-deficient rats.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Iron deficiency anaemia is a global health issue affecting millions of people. Though effective, conventional iron sources used for supplementation often cause gastrointestinal side effects. This preclinical study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of three iron supplements-ferrous bisglycinate, LIPOFER™ microcapsules (Def-LFe1), and a commercially available microencapsulated iron pyrophosphate (Def-Fe2)-in reversing diet-induced iron deficiency in rats compared to FeSO
