Anemia in the Elderly.
Review in HemaSphere, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 63 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
Anemia affects a substantial fraction of the elderly population, representing a public health problem that is predicted to further increase in coming years because of the demographic drive. Being typically mild, it is falsely perceived as a minor problem, particularly in the elderly with multimorbidity, so that it often remains unrecognized and untreated. Indeed, mounting evidence indicates that anemia in the elderly (AE) is independently associated with disability and other major negative outcomes, including mortality. AE is generally multifactorial, but initial studies suggested that etiology remains unexplained in near one-third of cases. This proportion is consistently declining due to recent advances highlighting the role of several conditions including clonal hematopoiesis, "inflammaging," correctable androgen deficiency in men, and under-recognized iron deficiency. Starting from a real-world case vignette illustrating a paradigmatic example of anemia in an elderly patient with multimorbidity, we review the main clinical and pathophysiological aspect of AE, giving some practical insights into how to manage similar cases.
