Symptomatic leptomeningeal carcinomatosis: a rare presentation of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia relapse.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is very rare and, when present, it is frequently asymptomatic. Rather, CNS involvement is more common in other haematological malignancies such as mantle cell lymphoma or diffuse large B cell lymphoma. The paucity of literature on CNS involvement in CLL underscores the importance of increasing awareness about its presentation, diagnosis and optimal management. We describe a case of symptomatic leptomeningeal leukaemic involvement as an atypical presentation of CLL relapse. A favourable clinical response was observed following systemic monotherapy with venetoclax.
