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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesZinc deficiency remains a public health concern in South Asia but is rarely studied through gestation to infancy.

methodsWe identified maternal and infant factors related to plasma zinc of 3 mo old Bangladeshi infants (

resultsMean ± SD infant plasma zinc was 15.63 ± 6.65 µmol/L, with 10.1% deficiency (<9.9 µmol/L). In adjusted analyses, infant zinc was positively associated with maternal age [20-30 years +0.11 µmol/L (

conclusionsThus, infant zinc was associated with pre- but not post-MMS maternal zinc, age and parity, feeding style, and infant iron status. Infant length but not weight was associated with plasma zinc.
