The impact of postpartum anemia on cognitive function: a study using 3D video game-based assessment of reaction times in women.

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
Objective: To determine the visual and risk factors associated with postpartum anemia in women treated at Sergio Bernales Hospital, Peru, in 2022, and to evaluate the long-term cognitive impact of anemia in 2025. Methodology: An observational, cross-sectional, and correlational study was conducted. Data were collected from 184 medical records of postpartum women. Cognitive function was assessed after nearly three years in 30 postpartum women using a 3D video game based on selective attention and for discussion multitasking paradigms. Statistical analysis included chi-square tests and odds ratios (OR) for medical records, and ANOVA for visual attention. Results: Clinical factors such as cesarean delivery (OR = 3.320), uterine atony (OR = 6.120), lack of prenatal care (OR = 9.117), obesity (OR = 7.120), short interpregnancy interval (<3 years, OR = 9.720), and preterm gestational age (OR = 4.530) were strongly associated with postpartum anemia. Cognitive testing revealed significant differences in reaction times between women with and without anemia (Game 1: Conclusion: Risk factors for postpartum anemia include cesarean delivery, uterine atony, lack of prenatal care, obesity, intergenesic period <3 years, and preterm gestational age. Cognitive testing nearly three years postpartum in 3D videogames showed significant differences in reaction times, suggesting a long-term impact on cognitive health. More studies are needed to study plasticity and long-term anemia impact.
