Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia in pancreatic adenocarcinoma: a potential paraneoplastic presentation.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
While autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) is a well-known paraneoplastic syndrome in haematological malignancies, it has been described far less in solid tumours. We hereby report the case of a 61-year-old male patient presenting AIHA related to pancreatic cancer. Investigations excluded infectious, autoimmune and toxic causes of AIHA. CT of the abdomen highlighted the presence of hypodense, infiltrating mass of the tail of the pancreas measuring 70×37×36 mm, compatible with pancreas neoplasm. Histological examination of two associated nodular lesions of the liver showed metastasis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The patient was started on corticosteroid without improvement of haemoglobin. Palliative chemotherapy was initiated; this led to significant improvement in haemoglobin comforting our diagnosis. This case illustrates the rare association between AIHA and pancreatic cancer. However, such association cannot be considered before excluding other, more frequent, aetiologies.
