Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundAnemia constitutes a significant health issue in India. Inadequate nutritional knowledge and education are the major contributing factors to anemia. The objective of the study is to assess the effects of a comprehensive nutritional education intervention. MATERIALS AND
methodsAn experimental study was conducted on 400 reproductive-aged women in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu. The intervention included group education sessions, distribution of iron-folic acid (IFA) supplements, cooking demonstrations, and home visits. The participants received nutrition education and counseling for 6 months. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired tests.
resultsSociodemographically, the majority were aged 36-45 years, married (86%), and lived in nuclear families (96.3%). Knowledge scores significantly improved across all domains postintervention, including general awareness (5.4 ± 1.44 to 8.3 ± 0.54), symptom recognition (6.5 ± 1.86 to 8.5 ± 0.60), and dietary practices (6.5 ± 1.43 to 9.1 ± 0.56;
conclusionThese results demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention in enhancing knowledge and improving hematological and nutritional parameters, providing a promising strategy for combating anemia in at-risk populations.
