Iron Deficiency Anemia as a Rare Risk Factor for Recurrent Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Thrombosis.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 deficiency is a well-known cause of anemia. However, it is an under-recognized cause of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Iron deficiency predisposes to VTE mainly by inducing thrombocytosis, which can lead to a hypercoagulable state. Identifying iron deficiency as a possible cause of thromboembolic phenomena has clinical significance since this is a potentially avoidable risk factor. This case report serves as a reminder that iron deficiency is an important risk factor for VTE that should be considered in the evaluation of patients. This is particularly true in patients like ours who have recurrent venous thromboembolic disease.
