New Onset Anemia, Worsened Plasma Creatinine Concentration, and Hyperviscosity in a Patient With a Monoclonal IgM Paraprotein.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
A 76-year-old female followed closely for five years with IgM monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance developed anemia, worsened plasma creatinine concentration, and markedly elevated serum viscosity. This case illustrates the scope of pathology that can be caused by elevated blood viscosity. Our patient's anemia was a homeostatic response to normalize systemic vascular resistance and resulted from activation of the systemic vascular resistance response. The elevated plasma creatinine resulted from decreased renal perfusion because of elevated blood viscosity. Recent insights in hemorheology (the study of blood flow) are discussed, namely the recent identification of preferential blood flow patterns and erythrocyte autoregulation of deformability. These insights confirm that blood viscosity is part of the "milieu intérieur."
