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

Our case-report presents a 62 year old woman with spontaneous onset of a distinct walking disorder and pancytopenia. The diagnosis showed a sub-acute combined degeneration of the spinal cord (SACD) and a megaloblastic anemia as a result of a cobalamin deficiency. This was caused by a strict vegetarian nutrition since 18 years. Once on therapy with cobalamin substitutes the clinical and laboratory test results improved within 3 months.
