Bleomycin-Induced Fulminant Hyperpyrexia: A Report of Two Cases and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Bleomycin is a commonly used cytotoxic agent that has proven its efficacy over the years. Though a common part of many protocols targeting lymphomas and germ cell tumors, it does have some serious adverse effects. Bleomycin is notorious for pulmonary toxicity and very rarely may cause fulminant hyperpyrexia. We describe two cases of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL) developing acute fulminant hyperpyrexia after administration of the first dose of bleomycin as part of chemotherapy protocol. This is a rare adverse reaction that closely mimics anaphylaxis and has an unpredictable and possibly fatal course. Health care professionals involved in the administration of chemotherapy need to be very vigilant in monitoring for symptoms of this reaction.
