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

backgroundClinically, 90%-95% of cases of CML have the characteristic t(9;22) (q34.1;q11.2) translocation that leads to the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome. Rarely, patients with CML can present directly in a blast crisis (BC). While most blast crises are of myeloid origin, myeloid BC with ALL-like morphologic features and Ph-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is rare, especially at the time of CML diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 20-year-old man presented with Ph chromosome-positive AML mimicking acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Bone marrow (BM) aspiration revealed AML with ALL-like morphologic features. The results of the immunophenotypic analysis suggested AML. Cytogenetic analysis of the BM cells revealed a 46,XY,t(3;14)(q21;q32),t(9;22)(q34;q11.2)[20] karyotype. Thus, we called the condition AML mimicking ALL. The patient was diagnosed with myeloid BC based on the combination of clinical, cytologic, and cytogenetic studies.

conclusionTo date, no case reports of a patient diagnosed with CML BC presented with Ph chromosome-positive AML mimicking ALL have been reported. We present the case given its rarity, easy misdiagnosis, and poor prognosis. It is important to combine clinical, cytologic, and cytogenetic analyses in distinguishing CML BC from de novo AML with the t(9;22),and further cases should be accumulated to explore how to improve the prognosis of the patients.
