Jaundice in a Returning Traveler-A Rare Manifestation of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection: Case Report.
Article in Clinical practice and cases in emergency medicine, 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
introductionCold agglutinin hemolytic anemia is a rare but serious complication of infections, including Mycoplasma pneumoniae. This case highlights the importance of considering infectious causes in patients with unexplained hemolysis. CASE REPORT: A 62-year-old previously healthy male developed jaundice, dyspnea, and fatigue three weeks after returning from South America. Labs showed hemolysis with agglutination, a positive direct Coombs test, and elevated cold agglutinin titers. M pneumoniae was identified via polymerase chain reaction, confirming the diagnosis. He required uncrossmatched blood transfusion and was treated with doxycycline, with clinical improvement over four days.
conclusionThis case underscores the need for emergency physicians to recognize M pneumoniae-induced hemolysis during periods of increased incidence and seasonal activity. Early diagnosis, targeted testing, and awareness of macrolide resistance are critical for timely intervention and improved outcomes.
