Evaluation of renal function with neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in patients with ıron deficiency anemia.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
The objective is to investigate the potential adverse effects of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia on renal functions by utilizing plasma Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) levels. From September 2021 to February 2022, plasma NGAL levels, hemogram, biochemical parameters were assessed in all participants. They were divided into three groups: Group I (non-anemic iron deficiency), Group II (iron deficiency anemia), and Group III (healthy controls), with comparative analyses conducted. Group I had 38 individuals, Group II had 75 individuals, and Group III included 57 individuals. Plasma NGAL levels were higher in Groups I and II compared to Group III, with no significant difference between Groups I and II. ROC analysis revealed an AUC of 0.63 for NGAL in distinguishing Group II from Group III. No significant disparities were found in serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rate levels among the groups. A significant negative correlation was observed between plasma NGAL levels and ferritin, iron, hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) levels. Plasma NGAL levels were significantly higher in adult patients with non-anemic iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia compared to the healthy group. This suggests that elevated plasma NGAL levels in these patients might indicate renal injury due to various mechanisms.
