One-Year Daily Micronutrient Supplementation and Anemia Prevalence Among Mildly Stunted Infants in Bhaktapur, Nepal.
Article in Sage open pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: To describe the burden of anemia at 6 to 11 months and the change in anemia prevalence after 1 year of multi-micronutrient supplementation. Methods: We analyzed hemoglobin concentration twice in 569 children. First when they were 6 to 11 months old and second after 1 year (at ages 18-23 months). All children were given a lipid-based micronutrient formulation daily for a year. Results: The prevalence (95% CI) of anemia at 6 to 11 months was 65% (61%-68%) and decreased to 25% (21%-28%) after 1 year. Among the 367 infants with anemia at baseline, 29% continued to be anemic during follow-up. There were also 18% infants who developed anemia during follow-up out of 202 infants with normal hemoglobin concentration at baseline. Conclusions: The anemia prevalence was substantially reduced after 1 year with micronutrient supplementation. However, even after 1 year of multimicronutrient supplementation, one-fourth of toddlers had anemia which merits further integrated research and comprehensive intervention.
