Aggressive natural killer cell leukemia with skin manifestation associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundAggressive natural killer cell leukemia (ANKL) is a rare natural killer cell neoplasm characterized by systemic infiltration of Epstein-Barr virus and rapidly progressive clinical course. ANKL can be accompanied with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Here, we report a case of ANKL with rare skin lesions as an earlier manifestation, accompanied with HLH, and review the literature in terms of etiology, clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment. CASE SUMMARY: A 30-year-old woman from Northwest China presented with the clinical characteristics of jaundice, fever, erythema, splenomegaly, progressive hemocytopenia, liver failure, quantities of abnormal cells in bone marrow, and associated HLH. The immunophenotypes of abnormal cells were positive for CD2, cCD3, CD7, CD56, CD38 and negative for sCD3, CD8 and CD117. The diagnosis of ANKL complicated with HLH was confirmed. Following the initial diagnosis and supplementary treatment, the patient received chemotherapy with VDLP regimen (vincristine, daunorubicin, L-asparaginase and prednisone). However, the patient had severe adverse reactions and complication such as severe hematochezia, neutropenia, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and died a few days later.
conclusionThis is the first reported case of ANKL with rare skin lesions as an earlier manifestation and associated with HLH.
