The Association Between METS-IR and Serum Ferritin Level in United States Female: A Cross-Sectional Study Based on NHANES.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) and serum ferritin in females from the United States. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with 4,182 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We used METS-IR and serum ferritin as the independent and dependent variables in this study and investigated the relationship by using multiple linear regression and verified the non-linear relationship with a smooth curve fit and threshold effect model. Results: There was a positive relationship between METS-IR and serum ferritin, with an effect value of (β = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.14-0.44) in a fully adjusted model adjusted for potential confounders. This positive correlation became more significant as METS-IR increased (p for trend < 0.001). Subsequent subgroup analyses showed that sensitive cohorts were those aged ≥40 years, black, and with a body mass index (BMI) < 24.9 kg/m Conclusions: There was a positive association between METS-IR and serum ferritin in United States females, and this positive association was more pronounced in participants aged ≥40 years, black race and BMI < 24.9 kg/m
