Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with osteolytic bone lesions: diagnostic dilemma.
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 9 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
A previously healthy 37-year-old man presented with a 10-month history of intractable back pain. On examination, there was tenderness to palpation along lower thoracic and lumbar spine. Complete blood count showed mild anaemia but was otherwise unremarkable. Imaging studies revealed compression deformities with multiple osteolytic lesions involving multiple levels of the thoracic and lumbar spine. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy were performed and demonstrated blast cells involving 80% of the bone marrow cellularity. Findings on flow cytometry were consistent with B-lymphoblastic leukaemia. He was subsequently started on hyper-CVAD (fractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, Adriamycin and dexamethasone) induction chemotherapy.
