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

introductionAnemia is a prevalent public health issue affecting millions worldwide, particularly among vulnerable populations. This study examines anemia prevalence among Iran's Kurdish population, revealing socioeconomic inequality and emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. MATERIALS &

methodsA cross-sectional analysis was conducted in 2019 using baseline data from the Dehgolan Prospective Cohort Study, involving 3,869 adults aged 35-70. Anemia was defined according to WHO guidelines, and socioeconomic status was assessed through household asset indices and educational attainment. Logistic regression and concentration index methods were employed to analyze the data.

resultsThe prevalence of anemia was found to be 4.4%, with a higher rate in females (6.1%) compared to males (2.2%). Significant disparities were observed based on education and wealth, with illiterate individuals showing a prevalence of 5.5%. The analysis revealed that education and gender were the most influential factors contributing to socioeconomic inequality in anemia prevalence.

conclusionThe study highlights the critical role of socioeconomic factors in the prevalence of anemia among the Kurdish population. Addressing these inequalities is essential for improving health outcomes and developing effective public health strategies.
