Ironically unwell: anaemia and iron deficiency among health-aware adults in the UK.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Background: Anaemia and iron deficiency are a global healthcare burden affecting almost 25% of the population. Many anaemia cases are caused by depletion of iron stores which can be treated by oral iron supplementation. However, anaemia may also result from functional iron deficiency, where chronic inflammation prevents utilisation of stored iron. Anaemia and iron deficiency are rarely profiled in general populations; however, they can have significant healthcare implications. Methods: Data from Results: The overall prevalence of anaemia in the study was 6.0% ( Conclusion: The study identified that anaemia and iron deficiency are common underlying conditions in a health-conscious UK population. Despite the high prevalence of anaemia and iron deficiency burden on females of menstruating age, demonstrated in this study, and reported in the literature, screening for these conditions is not widespread. Should there be a national screening programme for anaemia and iron deficiency in females?
