Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. 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: Nearly 8.9% of the total Indian population is constituted by tribal groups. The burden of haemoglobinopathies, especially β-thalassaemia, is more prominent among these populations than non-tribal populations. β-Thalassaemia major is a public health challenge that requires proven health strategies to minimise the effect of the same on the communities. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of β-thalassaemia trait among the school-going children from Jawadhi Hills of Tamil Nadu. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among school-going children between 8 Results: A total of 1980 school-going children within the age group 13-19 years were screened for the β-thalassaemia trait, of which 12.3% were positive. The prevalence of anaemia among normal children was 29.5%, whereas the prevalence among β-thalassaemia traits was 56.5%. Conclusion: The prevalence of the β-thalassaemia trait is high among the tribal populations of Jawadhi Hills. Widespread use of proven strategies, including health education followed by screening, is necessary for behavioural changes, which are essential for reducing the burden in the long run.
