Obesity and iron-deficiency anemia in women of reproductive age in northern Iran.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundObesity and iron deficiency (ID) are two forms of the most usual nutritional disorders worldwide. Some studies have discovered a correlation between ID and obesity although more investigation is required. This study was aimed to determine the association between obesity and ID anemia (IDA) in Iranian childbearing age women. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was done on 256 women of reproductive age in northern Iran. The anthropometric measurements including height and weight were measured, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Low blood index of the hemoglobin (Hb), mean cell volume (MCV), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) were evaluated with ferritin, serum iron, and total iron-binding capacity. Baseline data were expressed as means ± standard deviations. Chi-square test was applied to compare the categorical variable. Differences between the two groups were evaluated with independent samples
resultsObesity was in urban women higher than rural women (55.1% vs. 44.9%), and this difference was significant (
conclusionsAccording to the results of this study, it seems that the relationship between obesity and IDA is controversial. Hence, further studies are needed to be done.
