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

Osteolytic bone lesions and hypercalcemia without peripheral blasts B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) are reported in children but rarely seen in adults. Herein, we described two patients with B-ALL presenting with hypercalcemia and symptomatic osteolytic bone lesions. They were treated by standard induction chemotherapy after correction of hypercalcemia with supportive measures. With this two case reports we would like to emphasize the importance of clinical awareness of hypercalcemia and osteolytic bone lesions as rare presentations of ALL. The prognostic implication of bone lesions and hypercalcemia in ALL is unclear and needs to be verified in large prospective studies. However, immediate recognition and treatment of hypercalcemia and the underlying B-ALL are vital since a delay of diagnosis poses a possible life-threatening risk.
