Severe B12 Deficiency Causing a Maturation Defect Mimicking Myelodysplastic Syndrome With Excess Blasts.
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
Vitamin B12 deficiency is a common condition that is often asymptomatic, though in severe cases may cause megaloblastic anemia and even neurologic symptoms. Occasionally, the clinical presentation can include pancytopenia and thus mimic a more concerning myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) until corrected by B12 supplementation. In this unusual case, we present a patient with B12 deficiency who presents with severe macrocytic anemia, neutropenia, lymphocytosis, and a bone marrow morphology consistent with MDS.
