1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Mixed autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), defined by the simultaneous presence of warm and cold autoantibodies, is a rare and severe complication in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), particularly in older adults. This case describes a male in his late 60s with homozygous SCD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who developed mixed AIHA, presenting with profound anemia and laboratory evidence of hemolysis. The advanced age and comorbidities complicated both diagnosis and management, with transfusion support hindered by alloimmunization. Despite these challenges, corticosteroid therapy and multidisciplinary care contributed to clinical stabilization. This case underscores the need for heightened clinical suspicion and tailored management strategies for mixed AIHA in elderly SCD patients.
