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

rationaleGranulocytic sarcoma (GS), also known as chloroma, is a tumor comprising myeloblasts or monoblasts, potentially occurring as an extramedullary mass. Systemic chemotherapy should be used to induce complete remission. However, such patients with chloroma have a poorer treatment outcome than those without extramedullary myeloid sarcomas. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 30-year-old woman who initially presented with bilateral ovarian masses and splenomegaly was admitted to hospital. Also, her complete blood cell counts showed pancytopenia and blood smear revealed a few immature cells (3%). DIAGNOSES: A bone marrow biopsy demonstrated acute myelomonocytic leukemia, and the chromosomal analysis revealed a 46, XX, del18 (p11) [20] karyotype and cytogenetics and molecular markers showed all negative results.

interventionsSince this diagnosis, she received remission-inducing chemotherapy comprising anthracycline and cytarabine, which is a standard regimen for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and followed by allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling donor. OUTCOMES: After transplantation, the bone marrow engrafted successfully without complications. She visited our clinic regularly with no evidence of leukemia relapse or graft-versus host disease. LESSONS: This report represents the first case of ovarian GS, wherein treatment was successful with high-dose chemotherapy, followed by allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation without oophorectomy.
