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

Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a rare cause of severe hypoplastic anemia characterized by profound depletion of erythroid precursors. Although PRCA may be associated with lymphoproliferative diseases, it has never been described in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). We report what to our knowledge is the first case of a patient with indolent, non-nodal MCL complicated by PRCA. The patient presented with severe hypoproliferative anemia in the setting of a long-standing diagnosis of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Bone marrow studies revealed the complete absence of erythroid progenitors. Cyclin D1 positivity on immunohistochemistry, confirmed by a positive FISH for t(11;14) (q13;q32), established the final diagnosis of MCL in conjunction with PRCA. Rituximab monotherapy led to rapid remission of splenomegaly and the leukemic picture, but the patient achieved transfusion independency only with subsequent administration of cyclosporine-A, and remained so during the subsequent 15 months despite the gradual disease recurrence.
