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

Eosinophilia is rare in acute leukemia at presentation. Discrete reports and case studies in recent years have created significant interest in the field of "Acute leukemia with eosinophilia". We herein present two cases of eosinophilia in association with acute lymphoblastic leukemia with brief review of literature in this field. First case is about 21-year-old female who presented with mediastinal mass along with leukocytosis and hypereosinophilia. On evaluation, she was found to have T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After ruling out benign causes of eosinophilia, she was treated with modified BFM-90 protocol. Her eosinophilia resolved after 4 weeks of induction therapy. Second case is about 32-year-old male who was diagnosed as a case of mixed phenotype leukemia (B cell/myeloid type) along with severe eosinophilia. His hypereosinophilia finally resolved by week 16 of modified BFM-90 protocol. Diagnosing ALL is challenging when eosinophilia is the initial presentation. These two cases emphasize on the importance of considering ALL amongst one of the etiological causes of eosinophilia as delay in diagnosis endangers patient's life at risk. Also eosinophilia per se is an independent poor risk factor, hence prompt diagnosis and early treatment is the key in all such cases.
