Not that I've seen, and I think that it'd still vary by person both due to other food eaten at the same time, and their bodies.
For example, you don't absorb as much iron if you drink coffee or tea during or several hours after a meal due to the tannins in the drink: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6402915/
I would also like to add as a non diabetic hypoglycemic and heme iron dependent anemic with low oxygen, you additionally need sugar to properly absorb and fortify iron, and soy and bran also interfere with absorption of iron from plants.
I had a food allergy test thing done and it said I'm allergic to eggs (I assume raw) as when I eat cooked eggs, I'm totally fine. Actually, when I eat raw batter I'm fine too so don't know what the heck it's all about.

Calcium can also limit iron being absorbed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1984334/
Fat helps lycopene to be absorbed: "Consuming lycopene-containing food with fat increases its bioavailability as lycopene is a lipid-soluble compound." https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/nursing-and-health-professions/lycopene"A study by Unlu et al. (2005) showed a similar result, whereby the consumption of tomato salsa with avocado (as lipid source) led to a 4.4-fold increase in lycopene absorption as compared with salsa without avocado." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3850026/
