1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

Background: Identifying early response to oral iron supplementation in anaemic patients is key. This study aims to assess the onset-of-action of oral liquid solution of ferrous gluconate, copper and manganese gluconate in adults with moderate iron deficiency anaemia. Methods: This prospective, open-label study was conducted in France, Bulgaria and Kenya. All patients received 150 mg of oral ferrous gluconate/day for 12 weeks. Eleven blood samples were taken at Day 7 and at Days 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, 56 and 84. The primary endpoint was to assess treatment duration required to observe a +0.5 g/dL haemoglobin (Hb) level increase. Results: Ninety-five moderately anaemic patients were included in the analysis. Hb increase ≥ 0.5 g/dL was observed within 9-10 days of treatment (0.51 g/dL at Day 10, 95% CI: 0.45-0.57 and Conclusion: This study demonstrates for the first time the rapid onset-of-action of oral liquid solution of ferrous gluconate and confirms its good tolerability. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04309669.
