1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 anemia (IDA) is estimated to affect over 1.2 billion people worldwide and is particularly common in children and reproductive-age women in low- and middle-income countries. Iron deficiency (ID) without anemia has an even higher prevalence. Absolute ID is caused by increased iron requirements, inadequate iron intake, impaired iron absorption, and chronic blood loss. ID triggers multiple adaptive physiological mechanisms, including modifications in cellular iron handling orchestrated by iron regulatory proteins, as well as alterations in systemic iron handling secondary to suppression of the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin. The laboratory diagnosis of ID is based on biochemical parameters and may be complicated during inflammatory conditions. ID is treated with oral or parenteral iron supplements, depending upon the severity of ID and its underlying cause(s). An improved understanding of systemic iron regulation has begun to inform oral iron dosing regimens and the selection of oral versus intravenous iron formulations for the management of ID.
