Iron Deficiency Anemia With a Life-Threatening Low Hemoglobin Level.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 anemia (IDA) accounts for roughly half of all anemia cases globally. Menorrhagia and menstrual cycle disorders render women of childbearing age more prone to IDA. One of the leading causes of menorrhagia is uterine fibroids (leiomyomas), which are defined as hyperplastic, usually benign, overgrowths of uterine wall muscle and connective tissue. This is a case report of a 45-year-old woman who came to the emergency department complaining of progressive fatigue and dizziness for two months. She was admitted as a case of life-threatening IDA with a hemoglobin level of 3.0 g/dL. She was ambulatory and hemodynamically stable without any features of severe anemia. Pelvic ultrasound was performed and revealed uterine fibroids. After partial correction of the anemia, she underwent a total hysterectomy as a definitive treatment.
