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

Aggressive natural killer cell leukemia (ANKL) is a rare hematological malignancy that is particularly common among the Asian population. In the current study, we retrospectively evaluated six Chinese ANKL patients, including five males and one female, with a median age of 42 years (range 22 to 50 years). A number of unusual pathogenic manifestations were found in these ANKL patients, such as isolated extraocular muscle involvement, and hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) with acute renal failure and multiple cavity effusion. Four of the patients died between two and six months after the diagnosis; however, there were two ANKL cases whose clinical behavior differed from the typical clinical course. One survived for over 30 months after splenectomy and chemotherapy treatment, and another ANKL case derived from chronic lymphoproliferative disorders of NK-cells (CLPD-NK) was treated with allogeneic bone marrow transplant (allo-BMT) and survived over 18 months. In conclusion, four cases experienced an aggressive clinical course whereas two demonstrated an indolent manifestation of their disease. New therapeutic regimens including allo-BMT should be optimized in order to improve outcomes of this disease.
