Facilitators and barriers to implementing national iron and folic acid supplementation programmes for adolescents in India: a protocol for systematic review.
Article in BMJ open, 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
introductionAnaemia remains a major public health concern among Indian adolescents, particularly girls. National-level and state-level initiatives led by the Government of India, such as the Weekly Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation, METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A comprehensive search will be conducted using five databases, namely PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINHAL and Scopus, from inception to 30 September 2025. To capture grey literature, we will also search government portals, international agency repositories, clinical trial registries and the Google platform. Eligible studies include experimental, observational, qualitative and implementation research conducted in school-based, community-based or combined delivery settings. Screening, data extraction and quality appraisal will be performed independently by two reviewers using the Covidence platform. The Joanna Briggs Institute tool will be used to assess methodological quality of included studies. Quantitative data will be synthesised descriptively following the Synthesis Without Meta-analysis guidelines, and qualitative data will be analysed using thematic synthesis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not required as there is no human participation. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at scientific conferences. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD420251153248.
