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 and Objective: As per the National Family Health Surveys (NFHS) rounds four and five, the proportion of women of reproductive age affected by anemia has risen from 53.1% in 2015-16 to 57% in 2019-21. Despite extensive governmental interventions, this upward trend suggests evolving determinants contributing to anemia. Therefore, the present study seeks to examine the sociodemographic, maternal, reproductive, behavioral, and environmental factors linked to anemia among women of reproductive age. Methods: A secondary analysis was performed using data from NFHS-5, encompassing 724,115 women aged 15-49 years. The severity of anemia was classified into categories, and binary logistic regression was applied to determine the adjusted odds ratios (aORs) along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Sample weights were calculated, and a complex sampling design was applied to present the results. Results: A high prevalence of anemia, 57% (56.8%-57.3%), was observed among the reproductive age group females in India. Younger age females (<20 years) were significantly more anemic as compared to females of the age groups of 20-35 years [aOR = 0.95 (0.94-0.97)] and >35 years [aOR = 0.94 (0.92-0.96). Having three or more under-five children [aOR: 1.05 (1.01-1.09)], lactation [aOR: 1.17 (1.15-1.20)], and a history of termination of pregnancy [aOR: 1.04 (1.02-1.06)] were the significant factors, and use of modern contraceptive methods was a protective factor [aOR: 0.97 (0.96-0.99)] for anemia. Interpretation and Conclusions: This study shows a higher prevalence of anemia among reproductive-age group females. Addressing these identified risk factors through an innovative targeted approach will better address anemia among Indian women during their reproductive years.
