Deficiency and Development: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Effects of Iron Deficiency on Human Development.
Review in Cureus, 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
Iron is an important micronutrient for biological and neurocognitive function. Iron deficiency is significantly undertreated; yet, for many vulnerable populations, such as women and children, iron deficiency is prevalent and leads to serious developmental consequences. As global trends continue to rise, it is crucial to research trends in this area. Publications were extracted from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database, specifically containing the keywords "iron deficiency" and "development." A total of 6,850 articles were acquired from the search. A bibliometric analysis was then conducted on VOSViewer 1.6.2 to assess data concerning the publication year, country, journal, and keyword frequency. The quantity of published articles on iron deficiency and development has an overall increasing trend, dominated by the United States, China, and India. The top five publishing journals included Nutrients, Journal of Nutrition, and American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, with the Journal of Nutrition having the highest link strength. The frequently co-occurring keywords included iron, anemia, and iron-deficiency. Although COVID-19 had some disruption on publication due to priority on the pandemic-related research, the overall global trend. The occurrence of nutrition journals suggests an emphasis on the nutritional aspects of managing iron deficiency. The recurring keywords highlight the data focus primarily on early pediatric care, plant science, and medical research.
