From the Cosmos to the Cell: The Central Role of Iron in the Chemistry and Evolution of Life.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. 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
Iron, with the unique stability of its nucleus, occupies an unusual position among the elements: its abundance on Earth is not simply a geological accident but a direct consequence of nuclear reactions that happened inside stars billions of years ago. Formed at the final stages of fusion in stars, iron spread through space by supernova explosions and became part of the material that formed Earth, eventually becoming the dominant component of the planet's core. At the surface, iron's redox chemistry shaped the early atmosphere and oceans, and its availability as a soluble ferrous ion in the anaerobic Archean ocean made it a natural cofactor for the first enzymatic reactions. That same redox flexibility and the ability of iron to shuttle between Fe
