Restless Legs Syndrome Secondary to Iron Deficiency Anaemia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Leg pain, particularly restless legs, is one of Australia's most common complaints in general practice. Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is a possible cause of restless legs syndrome (RLS). We present the case of a 35-year-old Aboriginal man who initially presented for general health assessment, which was required every nine months for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in Australia. He complained of restless legs at night; however, he denied any other symptoms such as tiredness and weakness. Blood tests revealed severe IDA and dyslipidaemia. After initiating iron replacement therapy, the patient's restless leg symptoms improved significantly. This case emphasises the importance of investigating secondary causes, especially IDA. Addressing these underlying medical conditions can lead to significant improvements in patient well-being.
