Serum Ferritin in Women With
Article in EJHaem, 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
Background: We sought to determine associations of serum ferritin (SF) with live birth numbers and other iron-related variables in women with Methods: We studied non-pregnant, non-Hispanic white women in post-screening evaluations to determine associations of SF with age, pregnancy and live birth numbers, dichotomous menopause and therapeutic phlebotomy reports, daily food and supplemental iron intakes, and transferrin saturation (TS). Results: There were 136 women with mean age 51 ± 13 (SD) years and median SF 238 µg/L (range: 8, 2960). There were 376 pregnancies (median: 3/woman (1, 8)) and 296 live births (median: 2/woman (0, 6)). A total of 70 women (51.5%) reported menopause and 31 women (22.8%) reported phlebotomy. Median heme + non-heme food iron intake was 13.4 mg/d (3.1, 57.3). Mean TS was 62 ± 25%. Pearson's coefficient of ln SF versus age was 0.1955 ( Conclusions: SF levels in 136 women with p.C282Y homozygosity are positively associated with age, numbers of live births, menopause reports and TS.
