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

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) presenting as Fanconi syndrome (FS) is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of ALL presenting as bilateral nephromegaly following FS. A 2-year-old girl was unexpectedly diagnosed with bilateral nephromegaly. After 2 weeks, she developed general fatigue, thirst, and polyuria. Laboratory examinations revealed renal tubular acidosis, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, and aminoaciduria, and FS was diagnosed. Replacement of bicarbonate and potassium did not improve her condition. Two weeks after the onset of FS, leukemic cells appeared on a peripheral blood smear, and the patient was diagnosed with precursor B-cell ALL presenting as nephromegaly and FS. Chemotherapy brought about a prompt resolution of acidosis and electrolyte abnormalities, without renal dysfunction. The patient remains well 4 years after the onset of the disease. Although extremely rare, FS should be recognized as one of the emerging renal complications of ALL.
