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

purposeTo report a case of an orbital myeloid sarcoma concurrent with JAK2 mutation myelofibrosis, which rapidly transformed into acute myeloid leukemia upon aggressive treatment.

resultsA 51-year-old woman had progressive swelling of periorbita for one month. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a well-defined, mild enhanced mass indenting the adjacent right lateral rectus muscle and the globe. Biopsy from anterior orbitotomy revealed an orbital myeloid sarcoma. Bone marrow study showed concurrent myelofibrosis. Although the orbital lesion subsided remarkably under aggressive chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the leukemic transformation was noticed in the third month following the initial presentation.

conclusionThis case demonstrated that myeloid sarcoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of orbital diseases, with or without involvement of hematological disorders. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment as for AML are crucial as the prognosis is usually poor for adult orbital MS.
