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

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a distinct subtype of acute myeloid leukemia characterized by a translocation of chromosomes 15 and 17, creating an alternation in the retinoic acid receptor-alpha (RAR-alpha) gene. This leads to excessive medullary production of promyelocytic blasts, which are frequently associated with the hemorrhagic complications seen in APL. In contrast, APL-associated thrombosis occurs much less frequently and is an underappreciated life-threatening manifestation of the disease. Most thrombotic events occur during induction chemotherapy with all-transretinoic acid and are rarely seen as the initial presentation on APL. Here we report an exceedingly rare case of a patient with recurrent venous and arterial thrombotic events, including deep vein thrombosis, bilateral segmental pulmonary embolism, an ischemic stroke, splenic infarcts, and renal infarcts, later found to have APL. We aim to discuss the most recent understanding of the pathogenesis of APL-associated thrombosis and to summarize the literature of this rare presentation of APL.
