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

Objective: This study investigated iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), third-trimester hepcidin and ferroportin levels, and perinatal outcomes in twin pregnancies. Study design: Pregnant women with twin gestations ( Results: The prevalence of IDA was 32.3%. Hepcidin showed positive correlations with red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. Ferroportin showed negative correlations with these indices as well as with hepcidin. Adverse outcomes occurred in 84.1% of pregnancies complicated by iron-deficiency anemia. The combined decrease in hepcidin and hemoglobin levels, together with an increase in ferroportin concentrations, yielded an area under the curve of 0.940 for predicting adverse outcomes. Conclusion: IDA is common in twin pregnancies and is strongly associated with unfavorable maternal-fetal outcomes. The combined measurement of hepcidin, ferroportin, and hemoglobin has diagnostic and predictive value in assessing iron-deficiency anemia in twin pregnancies.
