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

backgroundRed meat, a significant source of heme iron, may influence iron status and metabolic health, particularly in Qatar, where consumption is high. Understanding these associations is essential for addressing iron deficiency and cardiovascular risk in this population.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study using data from 13,778 Qatari adults enrolled in the Qatar Biobank (men:

resultsHigh red meat consumption was associated with increased ferritin (Coef = 134.685,

conclusionsHigher red meat intake is associated with improved iron status, particularly ferritin levels, and gender-specific effects on hemoglobin and cholesterol levels. Moderate red meat intake may support iron health while maintaining a favorable lipid profile.
