Decreased Anemia Rates in a Pediatric Clinic in Consuelo, a Rural Community in the Dominican Republic.
Article in Sage open pediatrics. 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
Objectives: To evaluate rates of screening, diagnosis, and treatment of anemia in children in Consuelo, Dominican Republic after implementation of quality improvement measures. Introduction: The Niños Primeros en Salud clinic addresses childhood iron deficiency anemia by: screening hemoglobin (Hb) levels, providing iron therapy (IT), and discussing nutrition. In 2015, 30% of children were screened, and rates were 90%, with 51% receiving IT. Methods: We reviewed medical records for children ages 6-15 months with at least one clinic visit from 2022-2024. Results: Of 308 patients, 176 (57%) had a Hb result. 68 (39%) had anemia. Males had a higher rate than females. Of children diagnosed, 45/68 (66%) received IT. Although screening increased, over 1/3 of children were unscreened. Among those screened, rates decreased to 39%. In children diagnosed, IT initiation increased to 63%. Conclusions: Despite improvements, there is room for additional progress in anemia screening and treatment.
