Rare co-occurrence of probable pernicious anemia and autoimmune hepatitis in a 55-year-old male patient: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 is a case of probable pernicious anemia in the setting of autoimmune hepatitis. A 55-year-old male patient presented to the Emergency Room at Dr. Ruth K.M. Pfau Civil Hospital, Karachi with complaints of diarrhea and fever and was subsequently transferred to the medicine ward. The patient also had signs of unexplained anemia. We performed laboratory tests and were able to rule out the common causes of liver pathology, including viral hepatitis. For blood, the values showed decreased hemoglobin levels and an elevated Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) (114 fL), indicating macrocytosis. Finally, we were able to conclude autoimmune pathology after the results of antibody testing demonstrated positive lab values for anti-smooth muscle antibodies, antinuclear antibodies, and anti-gastric parietal cell antibodies. The patient had developed pernicious anemia in the setting of autoimmune hepatitis, which is an extremely rare case and documented instances are scarce in the available literature regarding such cases.
