COVID-19 lockdown measures induced severe iron-deficiency anaemia resulting in central retinal vein occlusion and amenorrhea.
Article in BMJ case reports, 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
During the COVID-19 pandemic, precautionary measures taken by various countries include individual movement restrictions causing significant lifestyle changes and affecting dietary patterns. A 23-year-old woman presented with reduced left eye vision over 1 week and amenorrhea for 4 months. She was diagnosed with severe iron-deficiency anaemia causing central retinal vein occlusion and amenorrhea. During the lockdown, there was a change in her diet with greatly reduced iron intake. Iron is an essential mineral for retina metabolism and function. Iron supplementation was done with improvement in her vision. This case demonstrates the potential impact of lockdown measures on nutrition and health. Education of the general population on maintaining appropriate nutrition during periods of movement restriction is important and that nutritional evaluation and supplementation should be considered in patients with drastic changes in dietary pattern.
