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

Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is the development of hematopoietic tissue outside of the bone marrow. In adults, the bone marrow is the main site of hematopoiesis. When this process occurs outside of the bone marrow, it is a sign of disease or deficiency. Clinically, the findings of EMH may be diverse. One rare complication that can arise from EMH is obstructive jaundice. This occurs when there is a blockage of bile flow leading to retention of bilirubin in hepatocytes. Identifying the markers of EMH and obstructive jaundice is important for optimizing positive outcomes. While often asymptomatic, EMH can be deadly if left untreated. In this case, we present a patient with obstructive jaundice secondary to EMH.
