A Case of Pernicious Anemia Presenting With Severe Hemolysis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Vitamin B12 deficiency is a well-known and overall common disease. While the etiology of vitamin B12 deficiency varies from post-surgical changes to inadequate dietary consumption, pernicious anemia should be considered as it is a common cause. Pernicious anemia is an autoimmune atrophic gastritis impairing the absorption of vitamin B12. Manifestations include neurological changes, macrocytic anemia, glossitis, and nail changes. Hemolytic anemia is an unusual complication of vitamin B12 deficiency and an even more unusual initial presentation. This case identifies a patient with previously undiagnosed pernicious anemia with severe vitamin B12 deficiency compounded by hemolytic anemia as the presenting symptom. Overall, this case highlights the importance of considering vitamin B12 deficiency-related hemolytic anemia and the need for further research into the causes and pathophysiology of vitamin B12-induced hemolysis due to its potential for fatal outcomes despite being easily treatable with cost-effective methods to treat.
