Erythropoietin levels in geriatric anemia.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Background: Defects in the production or action of erythropoietin (EPO) are important contributing factors in anemia. However, the exact impact of aging on levels of EPO and its role in the development of geriatric anemia is still underexplored. Moreover, the specific pattern of EPO in etiological subcategories such as nutritional anemia (NA), anemia of chronic disease (ACD), and unexplained anemia (UA) is not entirely known. Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the serum EPO levels in geriatric anemia and compare them across NA, ACD, UA, and NA with ACD. Materials and Methods: Ninety anemic geriatric patients (cases) along with 30 non-anemic geriatric controls were evaluated for serum EPO levels. A correlation between S.EPO and inflammatory markers was also done. Results: Serum EPO levels were higher in cases as compared to controls ( Conclusion: Geriatric anemic patients have elevated S.EPO as compared to non-anemic controls (observed reference range similar to young adults). Raised EPO levels were detected more frequently in NA, while they were the lowest in UA.
