Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Unmasked by Blood Transfusion in a Patient With Prostate Cancer: 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
We report the case of a 65-year-old man with non-metastatic prostate cancer who presented with symptomatic anemia (Hb 66 g/L). With no bleeding source and normal iron studies, anemia of chronic disease was initially suspected. Following transfusion of one unit of red blood cells, he developed clinical and biochemical features of hemolysis. The direct antiglobulin test (DAT) was strongly positive (IgG +4, C3 +3), confirming warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). Further transfusions were administered under steroid cover. Autoimmune serology revealed positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and markedly elevated dsDNA by enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) but negative
