A case of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia associated with mediastinal teratoma.

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
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) secondary to mediastinal teratoma is a very rare clinical entity. They can be primary or secondary to any infections, malignancy, etc. Yet at times, there could be a delay in the diagnosis. Here we present a rare presentation of mediastinal teratoma and probably this is the first from India, based on our literature review using PubMed and Scopus as search engines with MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) words "mediastinal teratoma AND India AND hemolytic anemia." A 26-year-old male with cough and effort intolerance was diagnosed with AIHA which was triggered by a mediastinal teratoma. He had difficulty in preprocedural blood transfusion due to incompatibility which needed high-dose methylprednisolone to suppress the immune system. Due to prior usage of pulse steroids, we had the challenge of ruling out hematological malignancy, which was done by bone marrow examination and positron emission tomography (PET) scan of the whole body. AIHA resolved completely with open thoracotomy and excision of the tumor.
