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

Large granular lymphocyte leukemia (LGL-L) is defined morphologically as a group of lymphoproliferative disorders, including T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGL-L), chronic lymphoproliferative disorders of NK cells (CLPD-NK), and aggressive NK cell leukemia. We investigated the morphological features of LGL leukemic cells in LGL-L patients to identify screening methods best suited to application in daily clinical practice. LGL leukemic cells were mostly indistinguishable from normal LGL; however, we developed a simplified approach to distinguishing among these cells, in which lymphocyte  % and the proportion of granular lymphocytes among lymphocytes (GL %) can serve as parameters at the cut-off values of 52 and 50 %, respectively. We confirmed the accuracy of these methods in validation groups. It may be useful to evaluate GL % to screen for LGL-L using a cut-off threshold of 50 when Lym % exceeds 52 in the peripheral blood examination in cases in which LGL-L is suspected in daily practice while keeping clinical context and the coefficient of variation of these parameters under consideration.
