1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIn India, iron deficiency anemia remains common among adolescent girls, with low awareness persisting despite school-based programs. In this context, we conducted a study to assess their knowledge and evaluate the effectiveness of a structured health promotion program on iron deficiency anemia among adolescent girls in a school.

conclusionTargeted, interactive school-based interventions can play a critical role in addressing persistent knowledge gaps on iron deficiency anemia among adolescent girls. In this study, a single nurse-led educational session produced significant improvements in knowledge, with the largest gains observed in younger students and those from lower-income households. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring health promotion content to the age, baseline understanding, and socioeconomic background of the learners. By leveraging their clinical expertise, community presence, and communication skills, nurses are uniquely positioned to deliver such context-specific interventions, bridging knowledge gaps early and fostering healthier behaviors that can help reduce the long-term burden of anemia.
