Chronic Iron Deficiency Anemia as the Initial Manifestation of Undiagnosed Von Willebrand Disease in a Woman With Long-Standing Menorrhagia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Iron deficiency anemia is a common clinical condition in reproductive‑age women and is frequently attributed to gynecologic blood loss. However, underlying inherited bleeding disorders remain underrecognized contributors. We present a case of a woman with chronic fatigue, weakness, and long-standing menorrhagia who was repeatedly treated for iron deficiency anemia without sustained improvement. Subsequent hematologic evaluation revealed Von Willebrand factor (VWF) deficiency consistent with Von Willebrand disease. This case highlights the importance of recognizing abnormal uterine bleeding as a potential manifestation of an underlying hemostatic disorder and underscores the need for early diagnostic evaluation to prevent prolonged morbidity and avoid delays in definitive management.
