Stage-specific variations in urinary and salt iodine among pregnant women in Beijing.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2026. 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: Iodine is essential for fetal neural development and thyroid function in pregnant women. Although China has a policy of iodizing salt, salt intake alone may be insufficient to fulfill the iodine needs of pregnant women, particularly in early gestation. Purpose: To evaluate trimester-specific and annual fluctuations in urine and salt iodine levels among pregnant women in Beijing from 2021 to 2024. Methods: Iodine data from 400 women were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA and MEM. Results: The median urinary iodine decreased from 151.3 μg/L in 2022 to 122.9 μg/L in 2024, falling outside the WHO recommended threshold of 150 μg/L. ANOVA indicated a substantially reduced urine iodine level in the first trimester compared to subsequent trimesters ( Conclusion: Urinary iodine levels among Beijing pregnant women have declined significantly, particularly in early pregnancy. Iodized salt alone is insufficient to meet their needs, therefore enhanced iodine supplementation and early monitoring are crucial to ensuring sufficient iodine intake for embryonic development.
