A case of thyrotoxicosis-induced anemia in a patient with painless thyroiditis.
Article in Thyroid research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThere have been several reports of secondary anemia associated with Graves' disease. There are no reports of secondary anemia resulting from thyrotoxicosis due to painless thyroiditis (silent thyroiditis). We report the case of a patient with pancreatic diabetes who developed anemia caused by thyrotoxicosis due to painless thyroiditis. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 37-year-old man who visited the hospital complaining of fatigue, palpitations, and dyspnea. His hemoglobin was 110 g/l (reference range, 135-176), and mean corpuscular volume was 81.5 fl (81.7-101.6). His free thyroxine (FT4) was high, at 100.4 pmol/l (11.6-21.9); the free triiodothyronine (FT3) was high, at 27.49 pmol/l (3.53-6.14); TSH was low, at < 0.01 mIU/l (0.50-5.00); and TSH receptor antibody was negative. Soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) was high, at 1340 U/ml (122-496); C-reactive protein (CRP) was high, at 6900 μg/l (< 3000); and reticulocytes was high, at 108 10
conclusionsThis is the first case report of transient secondary anemia associated with thyrotoxicosis due to painless thyroiditis. The change in sIL-2R was also observed during the clinical course of thyrotoxicosis and anemia, suggesting the immune processes in thyroid gland and bone marrow.
