Vitamin B12 Deficiency Disguised As Hemolytic Anemia: A Case Presentation.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
This case report describes an 18-month-old male presenting with hemolytic anemia and lethargy, who was ultimately diagnosed with severe vitamin B12 deficiency. The child exhibited global developmental delays, including a lack of speech and walking skills. Initially suspected as intravascular hemolytic anemia, the normal reticulocyte count led to further investigation, which revealed low cobalamin (vitamin B12) levels. The patient received vitamin B12 injections, resulting in normalized cobalamin levels. Additional evaluations ruled out metabolic disorders and other etiologies for his anemia. Follow-up laboratory testing showed improved hemoglobin levels, and the patient was discharged with plans for close monitoring. The case emphasizes the importance of considering vitamin B12 deficiency in children, particularly those with developmental delays and anemia. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing long-term neurological consequences associated with severe and prolonged cobalamin deficiency. Healthcare professionals should be aware of the impact of nutrient deficiencies on growth, development, and brain maturation in pediatric populations.
