Pseudo-Thrombotic Microangiopathy Secondary to Vitamin B12 Deficiency.
Article in Cureus, 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
Vitamin B12 deficiency can present with hematological and neuropsychiatric manifestations and is most commonly due to pernicious anemia in adults. A rare presentation is pseudo-thrombotic microangiopathy, which mimics thrombotic microangiopathies and may result in unwarranted treatment, including plasmapheresis. This condition must be considered in patients presenting with features of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and prompt treatment with vitamin B12 supplementation should be initiated. Although the laboratory findings of pseudo-thrombotic microangiopathy are similar to those of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, there are some significant differences, such as in the reticulocyte production index. This report presents the case of a patient with pseudo-thrombotic microangiopathy caused by vitamin B12 deficiency.
