[Severe microcytic anemia with megaloblastic changes in the bone marrow. A hematological paradoxon?].
Article in Der Internist, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We discuss the case of a 32 year-old male with severe microcytic anemia (hemoglobin 2,9 g/dl) and megaloblastic changes in the bone marrow. The patient reported of substantial dietary weight loss. The family history was positive for beta-thalassemia. Previous blood work showed iron deficiency with mild anemia. Further work-up verified beta-thalassemia minor and revealed severely decreased vitamin B12 levels with positive anti intrinsic-factor antibodies, pathognomonic for autoimmune pernicious anemia. The paradoxon therefore dissolved as a pernicious anemia with megaloblastic changes with microcytic erythrocytes due to beta-thalassemia.
