Myeloid sarcoma of the small intestine in a patient without overt acute myeloid leukaemia: a challenging diagnosis of a rare condition.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare condition that most commonly occurs in the setting of acute myeloidleukaemia (AML) or other chronic myeloproliferative disorders. It presents as an abnormal growth that can develop anywhere in the human body, and its clinical manifestations are often non-specific.We present the case of a patient admitted to the emergency room with bowel obstruction. After careful clinical assessment, she underwent a right hemicolectomy. After a thorough examination of the surgical pathology specimen, including testing a wide array of immunohistochemical markers, the patient was timely diagnosed with MS, allowing for the implementation of the appropriate treatment to achieve complete remission. This is crucial, since non-leukaemic patients with untreated MS always progress to AML, and have a better prognosis if adequate therapy is implemented early. Our patient is now in the second postoperative year and shows no signs of relapse.
