A Compelling Case of Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia and Its Potential Association With SARS-CoV-2.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia can be caused by infections, lymphoproliferative disorders, autoimmune disorders, or triggered by drugs or toxins. We present the case of a 92-year-old man admitted with gastrointestinal symptoms. He presented with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The etiologic study was negative for autoimmune conditions or solid masses. Viral serologies were negative, and RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 was positive. The patient began treatment with corticoid, with resulted in cessation of hemolysis and improvement of the anemia. A few cases of autoimmune hemolytic anemia have been reported in COVID-19 patients. In this case, the infection seems to coincide with the hemolysis period, and we found no other cause for this event. So, we highlight the need to search for SARS-CoV-2 as a possible infective cause of autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
