An Unusual Presentation of Iron-Deficiency Anemia: An Autobiographical Case Report.

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
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders and the use of proton-pump inhibitors has become the mainstay of treatment for many patients. While these are the most effective medications for the management of GERD, there are several side effects that patients may experience with their use. This autobiographical case report describes the development of iron-deficiency anemia (IdA) with chronic use of omeprazole. The patient was a 35-year-old male with a history of essential hypertension and GERD who was taking omeprazole 40 mg daily for 3 years for the management of reflux symptoms. He developed some mild exercise intolerance and began noticing an affinity for unusual smells, including gasoline and dust, which prompted an evaluation. Lab work demonstrated IdA to 8.3 g/dl, which was not corrected by oral iron supplementation. Sources of gastrointestinal bleeding,
