Dietary Iron Absorption: Biochemical and Nutritional Aspects.
Review in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 is an essential nutrient for most organisms; however, it can also be toxic when present in excess. For this reason, life has evolved complex pathways to tightly control the amount of iron contained within body tissues. Unlike most other nutrients, mammals do not have a regulated excretory mechanism for iron and, therefore, must regulate body iron levels at the point of dietary iron absorption in the proximal small intestine. In this chapter, we will describe the molecules and pathways involved in this important process, including our current understanding of the mechanisms of both heme and non-heme iron absorption. The regulation of this process will also be discussed, with particular emphasis on local and systemic factors that affect how much iron is absorbed from the diet. We also highlight areas where our knowledge is incomplete and where more research is required to fully understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for this essential process.
