Prevalence and Comorbidities of Anemia in Hospitalized Adults.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundAnemia, characterized by a decline in hemoglobin levels insufficient to meet the body's physiological demands, poses significant health risks. Its unchecked presence in patients has been medically linked to a surge in mortality and morbidity rates and reduced treatment effectiveness.
objectivesThis research aims to (1) determine the prevalence of anemia occurrence among adult patients hospitalized at Thumbay University Hospital, (2) highlight the comorbidities accompanying anemic patients, and (3) assess anemia patterns across different age groups, with a focus on young adults.
methodsThis hospital-centric, observational research analyzed the hematological test results of 437 patients. Participants were classified based on age, gender, hemoglobin concentration at admission, mean corpuscular volume, hospital stay duration, existing conditions and comorbidities at admission, and long-term medications. Anemia was diagnosed if hemoglobin levels were less than 120 g/L in females and under 130 g/L in males.
resultsAmong the hospitalized patients, 52.17% exhibited anemia, with females showing a higher prevalence than males. The highest occurrence of anemia was notably among the elderly population, particularly those over 65, while the lowest was found in adults aged between 31 and 40. The majority of cases were attributed to chronic disease-related anemia and infection, with the former being the most common underlying cause.
conclusionThis research provides an assessment of anemia prevalence in a clinical setting, analyzing a substantial cohort of hospitalized adults. The results reveal a high occurrence of anemia, primarily mild or moderate, among patients admitted to internal medicine and long-term care wards. The study's findings can underscore the frequency of anemia in hospital settings. Further exploration is required to understand the heightened prevalence of anemia among young adults.
