Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency-Associated Hemolytic Anemia and Methemoglobinemia in a Patient Treated With Hydroxychloroquine in the Era of COVID-19.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzymatic disorder of red blood cells worldwide. The severity of hemolytic anemia varies among individuals with G6PD deficiency, depending on the genetic variant in the G6PD gene; this makes the diagnosis of the condition more challenging in some cases. In this report, we present a case of severe hemolytic anemia and methemoglobinemia in a patient with G6PD deficiency who had been exposed to hydroxychloroquine prescribed for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. To the best of our knowledge and based on a literature search, this is one of the first case reports in the literature about hemolytic crisis and methemoglobinemia in a patient with critical illness due to severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who was exposed to hydroxychloroquine. It is critical for physicians and caregivers to recognize the effects of oxidative stressors such as hydroxychloroquine, particularly in this era of the COVID-19 pandemic and in regions with a high prevalence of G6PD deficiency, for the appropriate management of this unique subset of patients.
