Iron Deficiency Anaemia Screening and Management in Young Children: India and Southeast Asia Consensus.
Article in Anemia, 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
Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) remains highly prevalent among children in India and many Southeast Asian countries. Experts in maternal and child health have developed a consensus on IDA in children. This consensus aims to improve awareness of IDA, provide recommendations on the screening and management of children at risk of IDA and offer insights into strategies to prevent IDA in children. The consensus was developed using the Delphi method, where eight primary expert members initially formulated questions on IDA screening and management based on a comprehensive literature review, followed by feedback and voting from 18 secondary expert members, achieving consensus with at least 70% agreement. Twelve statements achieved consensus to provide guidance and recommendations on several key areas: the recommended age for initial and annual anaemia screening, the use of noninvasive haemoglobin measurement devices for screening, further evaluations to rule out thalassaemia and IDA in children with anaemia and preventative measures to reduce the risk of IDA. The experts agreed that early detection of anaemia is crucial to mitigate related health consequences in children. It is recommended that all children undergo their first screening for anaemia between the ages 9 and 12 months, followed by annual screenings from the ages 1 to 5 years. In addition, the experts emphasised the importance of nutritional intervention, particularly the fortification of food and milk, to assist in reducing the risk of childhood IDA. By integrating relevant recommendations based on current clinical data and best practices, these consensus statements serve to guide screening, treatment and prevention of IDA among children.
