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

Iron supplementation is ubiquitously prescribed and considered a benign means of therapy. However, side effects such as iron pill gastritis can be life threatening prompting discontinuation. We describe a case of a 71-year-old man who presents with severe iron deficiency anemia on oral iron therapy. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed mucosal injury in the fundus, including erythema and ulceration. Biopsy of the area was significant for pill debris. After switching to intravenous iron supplementation, his gastric mucosa healed and anemia improved. This case demonstrates the rare life-threatening side effect of iron pills causing corrosive mucosal damage and significant anemia from gastrointestinal bleeding.
