Unraveling the complexity: Case reports of drug-induced hemolytic anemia due to ceftriaxone.
Article in Asian journal of transfusion science. 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
Drug-induced hemolytic anemia (DIHA) is a rare but significant condition characterized by the premature destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) triggered by certain medications. Ceftriaxone, a commonly used antibiotic, has been linked to DIHA, presenting diagnostic challenges due to its diverse clinical manifestations. This study examines three cases of DIHA caused by ceftriaxone therapy at our center. The patients presented with symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, and dark urine following ceftriaxone therapy. Laboratory tests indicated hemolytic anemia with decreased hemoglobin, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, and positive direct antiglobulin tests. Immunohematological workups confirmed ceftriaxone-induced antibodies targeting RBCs and guided management strategies, including discontinuation of ceftriaxone, supportive therapy, and corticosteroids. Timely diagnosis and collaboration between clinicians and laboratory specialists are crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
