Micronutrient status among women in the midlife in selected Asian regions: a scoping review.
Review in Frontiers in global women's health, 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
Introduction: Micronutrient status is critical for the health and well-being of midlife women during the menopausal transition. However, data on micronutrient intake and status among midlife Asian women remain limited. This review examined the landscape of micronutrient intake, deficiency, and health impact in this population. Methods: Using a scoping review approach guided by a Population-Concept-Contextframework, we descriptively synthesized evidence from population-level and peer-reviewed data across six Asian regions (India, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Taiwan). The review focuses on B-vitamins, calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium, due to their roles in metabolic, musculoskeletal, cognitive, and mental health. Results: Eighty-six publications and ten reports were identified. Despite methodological differences, evidence consistently indicated suboptimal intakes or deficiency. Available data suggested associations between adequate intake or status and better bone health, metabolism, cognition, and quality of life. Discussion: Micronutrient inadequacy among this population is common yet under-recognized. Strengthening surveillance and developing targeted interventions are critical to support healthy aging and disease prevention among women in midlife and beyond.
