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

A 46-year-old man with no significant medical history presented to haematology with symptoms of fatigue, dyspnoea on exertion and weight loss. Physical examination revealed a lesion on the right shin and splenomegaly. Labs were significant for leucocytosis with immature components, thrombocytosis and 3% peripheral blasts on smear. A bone marrow biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of myelofibrosis (MF). Dynamic International Prognosis Scoring system was 2. He was started on ruxolitnib, with decitabine added subsequently prior to definitive therapy with an allogenic haematopoietic stem cell transplant. His course with decitabine was complicated with febrile neutropaenia with multiple tender erythematous plaques unresponsive to antibacterial and antifungal coverage. A skin biopsy showed neutrophilic dermatitis, consistent with a diagnosis of Sweet's syndrome (SS) and empirical treatment with glucocorticoids was initiated resulting in resolution of symptoms. This report reviews the literature for cases of SS in the setting of MF.
