Rare Loxoscelism-Associated IgG Coombs-Positive Hemolytic Anemia Treated Successfully With Systemic Corticosteroids.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Loxoscelism-associated hemolytic anemia is a rare but critical complication of brown recluse spider bites. It may lead to various systemic manifestations, including jaundice, dark urine, and anemia-related symptoms, in addition to general loxoscelism symptoms such as skin lesions, fever, myalgia, nausea, and vomiting. Prompt diagnosis is crucial and requires recognizing typical laboratory findings such as low hemoglobin, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, reduced haptoglobin levels, and possibly a positive direct antiglobulin test. There is no definitive guideline for the treatment of loxoscelism-associated hemolytic anemia. we report a case of a 32-year-old female who developed severe Coombs-positive autoimmune hemolytic anemia following a brown recluse spider bite, with an improvement in hemoglobin levels and hemolysis indices after the administration of systemic corticosteroids.
