Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Following Uncomplicated Spinal Surgery: A Report and Brief Review.

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
This report and literature review describes a case of a Coombs test-positive warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) in a patient following routine spinal surgery without complications. This is the first reported case of symptomatic direct Coombs test-positive warm antibody AIHA developing in a neurosurgical patient. The patient is a 73-year-old female with left radicular leg pain who developed warm antibody AIHA following standard uncomplicated spinal surgery. A positive direct Coombs test confirmed the diagnosis in combination with characteristic laboratory values. The patient did not have any significant predisposing risk factors. On postoperative day (POD) 23, she presented with fatigue and characteristic laboratory values of decreased hemoglobin, elevated bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase, and decreased haptoglobin. Hematology initiated and monitored appropriate treatment and proposed that the working hematologic diagnosis is stress-induced AIHA secondary to recent spinal surgery. The patient recovered well from a neurosurgical perspective and reported no neurosurgical complaints during the last follow-up. A female presenting with left radicular leg pain developed symptomatic anemia following uncomplicated spinal surgery. A positive direct Coombs test in combination with characteristic laboratory values confirmed the diagnosis of warm antibody AIHA.
