Iron Deficiency in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A Prospective Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.

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
backgroundIron deficiency (ID) is a frequent condition in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
aimOur aim was to investigate the prevalence of ID in patients with IBD.
methodsThis was a prospective multicenter cross-sectional study conducted in 21 gastroenterology departments in France between January and March 2020. All adult patients with confirmed IBD who were admitted to the hospital were eligible for inclusion. ID was defined as ferritinemia ≤ 100 μg/L in patients with signs of inflammation (C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥ 5 mg/L) or ferritinemia < 30 μg/L in the absence of inflammation.
resultsIn total, 1036 IBD (685 Crohn's disease and 351 ulcerative colitis) patients (52.1% women) with a mean age of 41.8 ± 15.5 years were recruited. Approximately half of the patients (504, 51.1%) were in disease remission at the time of enrollment. Systematic monitoring of iron status was performed in 12/21 (57%) participating centers, including measurements of ferritin (12/12, 100%), hemoglobin (11/12, 92%), transferrin saturation (TSAT) (6/12, 50.0%), and serum iron (5/12, 42%). About one-fifth of the patients had been treated with intravenous iron (218, 21.0%), whereas only a small percentage received oral iron (36, 3.5%). ID occurred in 97 patients (23.7% CI 95% 19.8-28.1). Patients with moderate/severe IBD activity (OR: 3.66; CI 95% 24.4-61.2; p = 0.007) or concomitant anemia (OR: 3.66; CI 95% 1.97-6.78; p < 0.001) had an increased likelihood of having ID.
conclusionPatients with moderate/severe IBD activity or concomitant anemia are at increased risk of ID. Early detection and management of ID in patients with IBD is recommended.
