Evidence for Stress-induced Bleeding in a Patient with von Willebrand Factor Deficiency.
Article in Indian journal of psychological medicine. 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
Literature reveals that psychological stress is related to hemostatic mechanisms and that excess stress can lead to prothrombotic events. Patients with chronic bleeding disorders report increased levels of subjective distress. The psychobiological link between stress and bleeding tendencies is rarely investigated when compared to the wealth of the studies on stress and clotting mechanisms. We present the case of a female with recurrent depressive disorder in whom episodic stress precipitated acute bleeding spells. An extensive hematopathological investigation revealed that she had von Willebrand factor deficiency. Our report adds to the literature that, apart from inducing procoagulant states, stress can precipitate bleeding episodes in patients with certain bleeding diatheses such as von Willebrand factor deficiency. The case also highlights that adequate pharmacotherapy and psychosocial interventions can yield adequate remission of both depression and bleeding spells.
