Prevalence of Micronutrient Deficiencies in Children and Adolescents Aged 3-17 Years - 14 PLADs, China, 2019-2021.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
What is already known about this topic?: Micronutrient deficiencies in children represent a significant global health challenge. Currently, there are limited nationally representative reports on micronutrient deficiencies among Chinese children and adolescents. What is added by this report?: This study presents nationally representative data on six micronutrient deficiencies. Among children and adolescents aged 3-17 years in China, the overall prevalence of vitamin A deficiency, marginal vitamin A deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, vitamin D insufficiency, iron deficiency, zinc deficiency, low selenium status, and copper deficiency were 0.3%, 12.1%, 23.9%, 41.2%, 10.9%, 3.3%, 7.1%, and 1.6%, respectively. What are the implications for public health practice?: Among children and adolescents aged 3-17 years in China, vitamin D deficiency in adolescents (12-17 years), iron deficiency in adolescent girls (12-17 years), and low selenium status in rural areas emerge as the most prevalent micronutrient deficiencies requiring targeted interventions.
