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

Anemia is frequently associated with older age and comorbidities. Also, anemia is a frequent finding in patients hospitalized for Coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19), where it has been associated with poor outcomes. Management of anemia is thus crucial in this setting. We present the case of an elderly woman with chronic iron deficiency anemia and multiple comorbidities, hospitalized for COVID-19, whose iron deficiency was successfully treated with ferric carboxymaltose. Hemoglobin and iron stores were replenished, and transferrin saturation increased to average values. Ferric carboxymaltose was well tolerated, and there were no safety concerns. The patient recovered from COVID-19 was discharged 25 days after admission.
