Gastric Ulcer From Prolonged Oral Iron Therapy: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Iron deficiency is a leading cause of anemia worldwide and is commonly treated with oral iron supplements, which are known for their GI side effects. We present a case of a 66-year-old woman with a history of GI bleeding and multiple comorbidities who developed a gastric ulcer after prolonged oral iron therapy. Although GI side effects are frequent with iron supplements, ulceration is rare, with only a few documented cases. Endoscopic and histopathological evaluations identified iron deposition in the ulcer bed, confirming the diagnosis. Discontinuing the oral iron led to the resolution of symptoms. This case underscores the importance of recognizing and managing iron-induced gastric ulcers to ensure safe and effective treatment of iron deficiency.
