Unusual Colonic Iron Deposition Following Prophylactic Supplementation in an Infant: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Iron plays a vital role in physiological functions, and its deposition is typically limited to reticuloendothelial tissues in the presence of excess levels. We report a rare case of colonic iron deposition in a 13-month-old child without iron overload or toxicity. Despite a normal serum iron profile and administration of only prophylactic iron supplementation, histological examination revealed marked iron accumulation in the lamina propria of the colon. This unusual presentation emphasizes the need for awareness of possible iron-related mucosal changes even in the absence of systemic overload, particularly in children with gastrointestinal or immunologic comorbidities.
