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

Myelofibrosis is characterized by stem cell-derived clonal proliferation potentially resulting in bone marrow fibrosis. As the disease progresses, extramedullary hematopoiesis is frequently detected in the spleen and the liver but rarely in other organs. We report a case of a 68-year-old woman with myelofibrosis with a JAK2 mutation, showing extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) in various organs with a marked increase in reticulin fibers, and myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-related necrotizing crescent glomerulonephritis. She was admitted to our hospital owing to respiratory discomfort. Computed tomography revealed a mass in the anterior mediastinum. Ten days later, the patient died owing to respiratory distress. At autopsy, EMH were detected in the anterior mediastinum, heart, lung, spleen, and the kidney with a marked increase in reticulin fibers. We considered that respiratory distress was partially caused by EMH. In the kidney, necrotizing crescent glomerulonephritis was observed. Immunohistochemically, the glomerular basement and mesangial area were IgA- and C3d-positive. Ultrastructural examination revealed the presence of dense deposits in the subendothelial space and the mesangial and paramesangial areas. Thus, we suspected that MPN-related necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis harbored a pathogenesis similar to that of IgA-dominant post-infectious glomerulonephritis or IgA nephropathy. This case report could widen the spectrum of MPN- or EMH-related lesions.
