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

Extramedullary blast crisis (EBC) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a rare phenomenon and represents infiltration of leukemic blasts in areas other than bone marrow. Lymph node is the most common site of involvement by EBC. We herein present a case of CML who suffered from two discrete episodes of EBC at atypical locations (scalp and paravertebral) within an interval duration of nine months. A-38-year-old female was diagnosed as a case of CML with extramedullary blast crisis in scalp at presentation. She received treatment with imatinib 600 mg once daily through Novartis Oncology Access Program (NOA). She achieved hematological remission. However nine months later she was readmitted with spinal shock due to cord compression secondary to paraspinal chloroma. She was started on tablet Nilotinib in view of failure to 1st line therapy. Her compressive myelopathy was treated with pulses of high dose dexamethasone. However soon she died due to pneumonia.
