Efficacy of Plant-Based Iron and Vitamin C in Adults With Iron Deficiency Anemia: A Randomized, Double-Blind Clinical Study.

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 Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common nutritional disorder marked by low hemoglobin and impaired oxygen transport, leading to fatigue and reduced quality of life. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of two plant-based iron formulations in adults with IDA. Plant-based iron supplements were investigated to overcome some of the shortcomings of conventional synthetic iron formulations, which are often associated with gastrointestinal intolerance, poor absorption, and oxidative stress. Methods A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 96 adults (males and non-pregnant, non-lactating females) aged 26-55 years with hemoglobin levels between 8-11 mg/dL. Participants were assigned to one of three groups for 60 days as follows: group A received 18 mg of plant-based iron from
